This heartwarming and uplifting tale is based on the book of the same name by Isaac Bashevis Singer. A family decides they must sacrifice their beloved goat to buy Hanukkah candles, potatoes, oil, and other household necessities and they send their oldest son to sell the goat to the butcher in town.
The son and goat set off for town, but soon find themselves stranded in a snow storm. The film then unfolds without words, through poetic imagery, natural sounds, and music, as the boy and the goat help each other to survive. Recommended for children of all ages.
