WENN DIE KÜHE GLOCKEN TRAGEN
WHEN THE COWS WEAR BELLS
Germania / 2012 / 12 min / Colour
Peter is enamoured of Johannes, his best friend. On the day of the “Viehscheid”, the return of the livestock to town after the summer at pasture in the Allgäu Alps, the boys participate together in the traditional festivities. On this occasion, it seems clear that the two friends have in mind two different life choices. A film about friendship and the courage to seek one’s true fortune.
