After the death of her husband, a dairy farmer from Maria Taferl (Lower Austria) gives up. She had to hand over her cows to the butcher with a heavy heart. One drama among many, the lights go out in more and more stables ...

Two years ago, fate struck Roland and Petra Lindenhofer's picture-book farm in the small village of Obererla near the pilgrimage town of Maria Taferl (Lower Austria) like a bolt of lightning. After the wife's mother suffered from cancer, the hard-working farmer was also struck down by this malignant disease.
