In rural New Zealand, a farmer, Rob (Karl Urban), gets engaged to his love, Lucinda (Danielle Cormack).

A string of quilt thefts have been occurring around town and when Lucinda finds hers, she is curious and reckless when she trades Rob's cows, worth NZ$400,000, for it.

Rob is beyond words in his rage and loses his voice as he drives away, leaving Lucinda to worry for days before their planned wedding.

The Price of Milk was directed by New Zealand actor and director Harry Sinclair.

[1] An English reviewer called it "A weird but very funny little film, comparable in its bizarreness to Being John Malcovich(sic).
