In the 1820s, a taciturn loner and skilled cook travels west to Oregon Territory, where he meets a Chinese immigrant also seeking his fortune. Soon the two team up on a dangerous scheme to steal milk from the wealthy landowner’s prized Jersey cow—the first, and only, in the territory.
Honestly, this film is like stumbling upon a hidden gem in a dimly lit bookshop. It's slow-paced, almost meditative, yet there's an unexpected depth to it. The cinematography feels like a love letter to the Pacific Northwest, and the silence speaks volumes. It's not your typical watch, but if you're up for something that's a bit off the beaten path and steeped in atmosphere, give it a go.
