18-year-old Totone (Clement Faveau) lives in the Jura region in south-east France, an area renowned for its dairy cows, agricultural festivals, and Comté cheese. All he really wants to do is have fun with his friends, get drunk, and chase girls, until his father has a terrible accident and he has to take care of his 7-year-old sister and find a way to make a living. When a competition to make the best Comté cheese in the region is announced, Totone sees an opportunity to win the cash prize and take control of his chaotic life.
