6th Okinawa International Movie Festival

Summary

Every year, dairy farmers get ready to compete in a cow contest called "Kyoshinkai" (prize show), which decides the No. 1 cattleman. The dairy farmer Kaneko, who is recovering from a divorce, will lose his beloved daughter if he can't produce results in Kyoshinkai, which is the next day.
However, due to some circumstance, the cow that he has carefully raised sustains an injury and becomes unable to participate. Driven to the edge of desperation, Kaneko decides to steal "Jennifer," a cow that his late father had raised that is now kept in the neighboring town. An intense battle will be waged around cows in the passionate cattleman's town of Kenebetsu, in which Japan's most lively Kyoshinkai is held.
