ABOUT THE MOVIE
After the collapse of a state-run project to develop local livestock farming, several hundred goats were left behind on the remote island of Unije. The local population can no longer manage these goats, which have been left to their own devices for decades. How do we confront this seemingly gone-wild nature?
