Suddenly having to care for his little sister, a young man must focus on the best chance he's got to provide for them—entering a local cheese-making competition—in this award-winning French film.
Totone and his band of friends, local barflies, spend most of their summer scouring the Jura dances. Following the sudden death of his cheese-making father, Totone suddenly finds himself responsible for his seven-year-old sister, and must find a way to earn a living. With his friends, he sets out to make the best Comté cheese, one that will win him the gold medal at the agricultural competition and 30,000 euros.
