On his run-down south Devon farm, recently widowed Michael only has his cherished herd of cows to call family - so when foot-and-mouth disease creeps slowly through the valley, he pulls up the drawbridge and hopes to wait it out. Meanwhile, life is hardly easy for local vet Jeff, who’s plunged from being every farmers’ best friend to cattle executioner and village persona non grata. So the question is, can they help each other survive the storm and salvage new lives as everything they once cherished scatters in the wind?

They bring great ideas to the process and create one of the most creative and diverse film series in the region. We wish to recognize and thank our very hard-working film selection committee:
