"First Cow" is a film directed by Kelly Reichardt and is set in the 1820s in the Oregon Territory. The taciturn loner, known only as "Cookie" Figowitz, is a skilled cook who has a passion for baking delicious pastries. He meets King Lu, a Chinese immigrant who is also seeking his fortune in the untamed wilderness of the American West.

The two men form a deep connection and decide to collaborate on a business venture. Cookie uses his baking skills to create mouth-watering treats that quickly become popular among the settlers and fur trappers in the area. King Lu helps Cookie by acquiring the necessary ingredients and managing the logistics of their operation.

Their business becomes a success, but it relies on the clandestine participation of a nearby wealthy landowner's prized milking cow. Cookie and King Lu sneak onto the landowner's property at night to milk the cow, using the fresh milk in Cookie's pastries to make them even more irresistible.

As their business thrives, tensions rise as they worry about getting caught stealing the milk. The film explores themes of friendship, ambition, and the harsh realities of life in the wilderness during the early days of America's expansion westward.

"First Cow" is a poignant and beautifully crafted film that showcases the quiet strength of its characters and the enduring power of friendship in the face of adversity.
