Jan is a country boy who lives isolated on the mountains with his father. He enjoys the summer playing with his best friend, Ona, a cow, but she gets terminally ill. He wants to take care of her until the end, but his father ignores him and sacrifices her without mercy.
Ten years later, when his father gets seriously ill, Jan starts treating him like a cow to have the farewell he never had.
