Synopsis: An old woman has a simple
relationship with her animals – she raises
them, loves them, and then kills and eats
them. When she goes to town, her goat
becomes an object of curiosity. The
townspeople are disconcerted by the
unexpected presence of this goat in their
midst, then find themselves won over by the
animal's charming tricks. For the old woman,
however, the goat is both compensation and
livelihood. The urbanites, once fascinated,
are ultimately repulsed by such intimacy
with their food. |
