This film takes a wry look at the cultural confrontation of East and West, as
reflected in attitudes towards the cow. In India, the cow is revered and cared for
well beyond its prime. We see a hospice where cows spend their last days in
comfort. When the BBC reports on the mass slaughter of cows due to mad cow
disease, the Indians are appalled. One suggests that the British send their sick
and old cows to India for caretaking.
