Synopsys:
When Germany was split up in 1946, the sleepy farming village of Mödlareuth was torn apart. A 12-foot wall was built through the middle, and the village soon
picked up the nickname “Little Berlin”.
The international press jumped on the story, but the tragedy unfolding in the local herd went unreported. While Peter, the only bull in the village, was
stranded in the west, his cows were suddenly eating Soviet grass on the other side of the wall. Would Peter ever see his cows again ? A bovine tragedy
waiting to be told – based on a true story, narrated by Christoph Waltz.
