A lovely short film for all the flavors of childhood, well resurrected by a simple story of friendship. A boy, his goat, the need to sacrifice, for meat, the animal and the solution, naif and touching to save it by the boy. A nice drawing, a dollar, a milk box ad one of great last scenes. Short, just seductive.
