Overview

Write a short summary of what happens in the film.

The film depicts a kingpin and her bodyguard who runs an oat drink syndicate in the underworld of their school. It’s a lucrative business in a place where oat drinks are still not welcome.

Background:

Every year, around 160 million liters of cow's milk are served in schools, subsidized by the EU's so-called School Milk Scheme. Encouraging children to consume milk products when their eating habits are being formed. At the same time, the EU has ambitious climate goals, which among other things, must be achieved by increasing the consumption of plant-based food. It doesn't quite add up, does it?

The EU might agree it doesn't. They decided to review the regulations for the School Milk Subsidy with the aid of an "open consultation," which could open the possibility of including plant-based drinks in the scheme.

We launched the film-centric campaign "Normalize it!" to shake things up and start a debate on the issue. The starting point was that children today are forced to pick cow's milk at school – if they want something else, they need to get it themselves.

Tell the jury about the choice of music track.

A kingpin oat drink dealer accompanied by "Pusherman" by Curtis Mayfield from 1972. Nothing more needs to be said, really.
