Recap
A newborn calf disrupts Edgar’s ordinary life during a tourist trip to a slaughterhouse. Moved by the realisation that the calf is destined to become a schnitzel, he decides to take it home. However, as the calf grows into a full-sized cow, chaos follows, with the animal breaking items Edgar holds dear. Faced with the upheaval, Edgar soon realises his decision may not have been wise and begins contemplating a radical solution.
