A whimsical, warmly romantic fairy tale about testing love through absurdist trials, grounded in the peculiar intimacy of rural life with 117 cows.

Lucinda lives a fairytale life with dairy farmer Rob, and his 117 cows. But after a freak car accident she decides to test Rob's love for her by trying to make him angry. He passes her tests until a quilt goes missing from their bed and the price of getting it back is high.
