After a series of failures in love and life, a social misfit returns to his family's farm near Cambridge, where he discovers an unexpected and bewitching affinity with cows.
Veteran Kiwi filmmaker Costa Botes’ latest feature follows the daily routines of herdsman Andrew Johnstone, who lives on his parents' farm, looking after a large group of beef cattle. He is thoughtful, highly articulate and well-informed, and in the course of his varied life has played many roles, from poet, journalist, and radio broadcaster, to farmer, fencer and rockstar.
In this delightful and thought-provoking documentary, we discover the life of a man who has suffered tragedy and disappointments but has ultimately found his way to healing and contentment, giving us all pause for thought and providing some rollicking good yarns along the way.
