Synopsis
G.O.A.T. is a 9-minute tragicomic road trip about unprocessed trauma, miscommunication, and... a goat. Set in rural Netherlands, the film explores the aftermath of a stillbirth through absurdity and tenderness, as a couple’s bottled-up grief finds an unexpected release on their way to a bizarre goat-themed festival.
