Years ago, Tomas’ grandmother Magdalena committed suicide under mysterious circumstances in a river near her family’s dairy farm. No one understood why she did it, and her body was never found. Decades later, Magdalena emerges from the same river, fully alive, although the river itself is now dying. The world that Magdalena is returning to is much different from the one she left. Fish in the river are dying; the bees on the land have vanished; the birds who can still fly away have all migrated. The ecosystem is completely collapsing from the overwhelming mistreatment from human activity, and the dairy cows on her family’s farm are suffering greatly, along with the environment around them. As Magdalena wanders back to her old home to face her family, each of her loved ones is confronted with dark secrets from their past and present. Filled with haunting and surreal imagery, THE COW WHO SANG A SONG INTO THE FUTURE powerfully highlights society’s destructive relationship with the natural world through the lens of a mystical family drama. —G.S.
