When Germany was split up in 1946, the sleepy farming village of Mödlareuth was torn apart. Soviets descended on the eastern half, Americans took over the west. A 12-foot wall was built through the middle, and the village soon picked up the nickname LITTLE BERLIN. The international press jumped on the story, but the tragedy unfolding in the local herd went unreported. While Peter, the only bull in the village, was stranded in the west, his cows were suddenly eating Soviet grass on the other side of the wall. Would Peter ever see his cows again? A bovine tragedy waiting to be told - based on a true story, narrated by Christoph Waltz.
