Daybreak, Sunset, Cow Milk

About This Movie

Daybreak, Sunset, Cow Milk is a contemplative documentary that pulls you into the rhythm of farm life in the Altai region. It’s not your flashy kind of documentary; it quietly unfolds the stark realities of dairy farming. The cows seem almost like characters themselves, each day blurring into the next, from the barn to the maternity ward — such a haunting routine. The pacing is steady, almost hypnotic, drawing you into the mundane yet profound existence of those animals. You can feel the weight of their lives and the expectations of productivity hanging in the air. It's a meditation on the cost of efficiency in agriculture, and I think that’s what makes it stand out. There’s a raw authenticity in its simplicity, and that lingering feeling stays with you.

Focus on the everyday life of dairy cows.Exploration of themes around productivity and nature.A unique perspective on rural agricultural practices.
