About a Cow
Situations and stories from the lives of cows: cows grazing in the pasture, cows bringing peace to people in a therapy garden, cows in the slaughterhouse... A patchwork of idyllic and dramatic images illustrates the connection between humans and animals in both a positive and negative light and ends by giving us hope for a better world.
