Oh yes, and a talking cow. Filmed with verite intimacy over a period of five years, the film is an endearing portrait of these brothers in the Bohemian Forest who have chosen seclusion over society. To heighten the twins' connection to their animals and the forested hills they call home, Remo imbues the film with the fantastic, blurring the lines between their primitive lives and their sublime philosophical musings about life, death and everything else.
