Summary

The Cowboys of Aspropyrgos narrate the underlit story of a milk factory that fed the population of Athens after World War II by bringing to the surface a forgotten local memory. Women and men who worked in cattle breeding talk about the "Little Canada" that was created in the west of Athens thanks to the Marshall Plan, the working conditions and the effect of the factory on the life of the town of Aspropyrgos which today is one of the most degraded areas of Attica.
