In a remote Australian sheep farming town, Colin and Les are two but who haven’t spoken to each other in 40 years. The two brothers couldn’t be more different: Colin is studious, introverted, and composed, while Les is hot-headed, crude and reckless. But they both share the same goal: win the annual competition for the best ram. But this year, Les’ finest ram tests positive for a rare disease and the authorities order the slaughter of every sheep in the valley, infected or not. But what can they do? A beautiful rural comedy, moving and funny.
