Totone is an 18-year-old living in a region famous for its Comté cheese. He enjoys a carefree life, beer and parties with friends. But after a tragic accident, Totone has to start taking care of his little sister and figure out how to support his family. He decides to enter and win a gold medal in a competition for the best cheese. The film, which was a hit with Cannes audiences, is distinguished by its authentic acting by non-professional actors and sensitive direction. Like any coming-of-age story, this one is full of ups and downs, the thrill of first love and friendship overcoming all.
