A small herd of cows from a little farm is suspected to have BSE (mad-cow disease) and is therefore sentenced to death. However when the animals start being loaded onto cattle cars they sense the approaching danger and manage to escape. People begin to organize themselves in an attempt to hunt them down. But the herd under the leadership of the cow Bella turns out to be far more intelligent and farsighted than expected. Together the cows manage to either destroy or avoid all traps the humans set in order to capture them. As the cows continue in their successful escape the level of aggression and frustration starts to rise among the humans. They resort to brutal and unscrupulous killing which has little to do with veterinary prevention that was their original goal in the beginning. However there are some people who have sympathies and understanding for the runaway cows and try helping the animals in their struggle. All the cows are after is freedom in the wild despite the fact they quickly find out that life in the wilderness is hard and merciless.
As time passes the only cow which manages to survive the life on the run is the leader of the herd - Bella. And a turn of events in her uneven freedom struggle against man forces Bella into making a very hard decision - choosing between saving her own life or the life of her beloved calf.
