Die Kuh, die weint

Feature Film, AT/DE 2025, DCP, 89 min, dOF + AD

A girl disappears, and a cow drops dead. While the men tell each other jokes, the women grab the bull by the horns—together they take on the crime. This contribution to the successful rural crime thriller series set in Carinthia tests out television clichés in two ways: Pia Hierzegger’s screenplay takes the emotional life of the protagonists seriously, and Andreas Prochaska’s directing mixes elements of horror into the investigation. False leads lead to the truth, and those who dare, win.
