皮埃尔是一位30 岁的奶农,他的生活中,只有自己接管的家庭农场、奶牛,以及当兽医的姐姐和他的父母。法国突然出现的“疯牛病”病例打破了皮埃尔的平静生活。在新闻报道疫情正在蔓延,也可能会在他的奶牛中蔓延开来时,皮埃尔不惜采取一切措施来隐瞒疫情,避免他的农场和生活整体大崩盘。最后,在姐姐的帮助下,皮埃尔找回了理智,寻找方法来解决问题。Pierre, a thirty-five-year-old dairy farmer, has taken over his parents'farm and devotes twenty-four hours a day to his cows. They are all for him so when an epidemic breaks out, threatening his herd, he gets terribly anxious. Even the assurances of Pascale, his veterinarian sister, that everything is fine, do not soothe his anxieties. And - quite unfortunately - his fears prove founded since one of his animals gets infected. The shock is severe because one cow touched means that his whole herd will be slaughtered. But Pierre is not going to let that happen.
