Louise Courvoisier
Director's bio
Louise Courvoisier
Born in 1994, Louise Courvoisier grew up in the Jura region before studying cinema at the Cinéfabrique in Lyon. Her graduation short, Mano a Mano, won the first prize at the Cinéfondation in Cannes in 2019. Vingt dieux (Holy Cow) is her first feature film, a sentimental cheese epic set in the village of her childhood.
Synopsis
Totone, 18 years old, spends most of his time drinking beers and partying in the Jura region with his group of friends. But reality catches up with him: he has to take care of his 7-year-old sister and find a way to make a living. He then sets out to make the best Comté cheese in the region, the one that would win him the gold medal at the agricultural competition and 30,000 euros.
