In a secluded valley in Iceland, Gummi and Kiddi live side by side. Their ancestral sheepstock is considered one of the country's best and the two brothers are frequently awarded
for their prized rams. Although they share the land, Gummi and Kiddi have not spoken to
each other in four decades. When a lethal disease suddenly infects Kiddi's sheep, the
entire valley comes under threat. The authorities decide to cull all the animals in the area
to contain the outbreak. This is a near death sentence for the farmers, whose sheep are
their main source of income, and many abandon their land. Buteach brother tries to stave
off the disaster in his own fashion: Kiddi by using his rifle and Gummi by using his wits. As
the authorities close in, the brothers need to come together to save the special breed
passed down for generations, and themselves, from extinction.

The film follows three comic-dramatic stories set in Mumbai. The first one is about a
middle-aged man who wins the office 'Fun Committee Award', which entitles him to a
whole day full of fun. He is most reluctant to leave the safety of his cubicle but he has to.
Prescribed fun modules have to be completed and non-compliance is not an option. The
second story is of a domineering pater familias Anil, who is on life support. Seeking some
relief, his family decides to buy a TV, which Anil had banned; now every night the family
plugs into a popular soap whose hero is an 'ideal' man. The third one centres on Aarti
whose repetitive existence is slowly making her feel mechanical and numb. Deep inside
ferments a disconnect and unease that she can't articulate to anyone. Then one day there
arrives a most intimate letter and everything changes.

'Cowboys' is a comedy based on a Croatian hit theatre play. It is a story of eight outsiders
who are trying to create a theatre play while breaking every rule of theatre craft. Genrewise 'Cowboys' is between social drama and comedy. It emphasizes clear stories and
functionally profiled characters. The story takes place in a little industrial town, small and
claustrophobic enough to make life in it impossible, and yet big and diverse enough to
make the story and the characters convincing.
