Summaries

Forced to marry one of the elders in her Arab village, 12-year-old Hadiya escapes, traversing across the desert in search of her father, with her family goat, who soon begins talking to her with the voice of her late mother.

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.—Ilaria Borrelli
