First Cow
“A simple western about the origin of the American Dream.”
DramaWestern
In the 1820s, a taciturn loner and skilled cook travels west to Oregon Territory, where he meets a Chinese immigrant also seeking his fortune. Soon the two team up on a dangerous scheme to steal milk from the wealthy landowner’s prized Jersey cow – the first, and only, in the territory.
VIBE
A tender, quiet ode to unlikely friendship and small dreams in a harsh frontier. It feels like a warm, worn blanket on a cold day, full of gentle observation and understated longing.
