Cows on the Roof

Fabiano is haunted by nightmares. They are a reflection of his life. Having inherited his father’s small-scale agricultural business in an isolated valley of Southern Switzerland, Fabiano owns fifty goats and eight cows and tries his best to produce the special alp cheese that his hippie parents successfully made back in the 1980s. But nothing goes right... Fabiano is in debt, the alpine hut that he rents for the summer is dilapidated, and the goat cheese business is no longer profitable. His thoughts wander back to a fatal accident that occurred the previous year to a Macedonian illegal worker. His death is haunting him because he feels partially responsible for it. Fabiano is not exactly in a good place to start a family but will be a father soon. His girlfriend Eva is expecting, and she dreams of a simple life surrounded by nature and animals. But how can they build a life together in these difficult circumstances?
