Movie Info

In Basque country, feuds, governments, and wars come and go, while cows placidly observe the strange behaviors of the humans who care for them. In 1875, during a massacre inspired by an out-of-control family feud, a farmer and his friend find themselves in a ditch together. One of them dies, and the other survives by playing possum using his friend's blood as a disguise. As the film flashes forward in time, the man is now a grandfather who amuses himself by painting the tranquil gaze of cows

This offering is just about as basic as it could possibly be, with little in the way of extras.

He fails as often as he succeeds. With so many loose ends, you could make a pretty rag rug.

it was very strange, and rather boring. it was Romeo & Juliet with cows, oh and incest. yea. it was a strange family conflict. it was cool how the director had the same actors playing the people of each generation.
