THIS IS NOT MY COW

In a village often disturbed by military drills, the army sends soon-to-retire soldiers to take care of cows and sheep, hoping to build good relations with the locals. But this kind act cannot hide the long-term impact the drills have had on people’s lives. The film starts with a small mistake made by one of the animal caretakers, slowly revealing the hidden tension and conflict between the military and the villagers.
