A Goat to Follow (out of competition) 18 minutes · Directed by Mila Costi · Italy
Details & Poster
Along the road leading home, a woman encounters a goat that has escaped from its owner and taken refuge in the woods. Many villagers try unsuccessfully to capture it. Absorbed in her daily routine, work, and caring for her children, she initially pays little attention to the event. Over time, as the goat remains free, she begins to question the meaning of that encounter. What seems like a marginal episode becomes a personal turning point.
