Hadyia a pregnant eleven years old orphan escapes from her village after having been forced to marriage. She takes the road to freedom alone with her goat whose milk she will use to survive. Sometimes when she drinks the milk she feels her mum is talking to her.



Director’s Quote: In war and in poverty the first to be sacrificed are young girls. Sold as wives, as prostitutes, young girls are the first to be taken out of school and the last to be taken to a hospital.



"The Goat" is a captivating and thought-provoking film that we believe would be a valuable addition to your esteemed festival. Directed by the talented Ilaria Borelli, the film explores complex themes of human nature, resilience, and the indomitable spirit of the human soul. We are confident that its unique narrative and exceptional cinematography will resonate with both the festival's audience and the distinguished jury.
