The young cattle farmer Jacky Vanmarsenille is approached by an
unscrupulous veterinarian to make a shady deal with a notorious
Flemish beef trader. But the assassination of a federal policeman,
and an unexpected confrontation with a mysterious secret from Jacky’s
past, set in motion a chain of events with unexpected tragic consequences.
Bullhead is an exciting tragedy about fate, lost innocence and friendship,
about crime and punishment, but also about conflicting desires and the
irreversibility of a man's destiny.
