Synopsis
This feature film incorporates live action footage with animation to tell the curious story of 18 cows. Acquired by a Palestinian community in the late 1980s, the cows were a symbol of freedom and resistance, providing milk for the Palestinian residents of Beit Sahour so that they would not rely on Israeli producers. Soon the illegal cows were being sought by the Israeli army as a threat to security. With humor and passion, this film captures the spirit of the 1987 uprising through personal experiences.
