Leonie’s biggest dream is to become a pig farmer. On the farm of her parents
she is happily wandering around with her best friend, Skeet the cat. She is
always helping out in any way possible: fertilizing the sows, tending to the pigs
and help load the fully grown hogs onto the truck that will bring them to the
slaughterhouse. The family farm is helping Leonie learn about the circle of life.
However, new laws surrounding nitrogen emissions set by the government
are threatening Leonie’s parents’ life’s work, their company, into bankruptcy.
Together with her cat Skeet she sees the last pigs disappear from the farm
and she realizes that her dream of living as a pig farmer might not come true.
