Trailer Synopsis Cast

Bogdan, an internationally acclaimed concert pianist, retires from the stage when his wife Iza dies, and he seeks solace on his mother's little farm. The little village on the Baltic coast is where he and his wife had sworn to love each other for all eternity when they were still children. Now that everything has changed, Bogdan succumbs to fate and begins to drink heavily. Thankfully his resolute mother has a formula to free the despairing Bogdan from his state of lethargy: renovating the run-down farmhouse and hard work in the stables. One day Bogdan makes a fateful discovery. A surprisingly musical cow, of all things, rekindles Bogdan's life spirits and gives him a crazy idea. His friends and family throw their hands up in horror, and when he tops things by organizing a village feast, things run completely out of control.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

I've seen the film at Biberacher Filmfestspiele and I was thrilled! A quiet, heart-touching movie, beautiful pictures and great characters. The film tells the story of Bogdan - superbly acted by Zbigniew Zamachowski - a husband who loses his wife and in his grief threatens to sink. It may sound absurd, but it is a cow, which he brings out of his depth and shows him - and us - how beautiful life can be.In German cinema, it is now released under the title "Sommer auf dem Land" ("Summer in the countryside"), which unfortunately doesn't reflect the heartwarming tragicomedy ... and above all, it keeps the real star of the film secret: the cow!!
