Contents Summary
The main character in this humorous and grotesque story is a female goat, by means of which we learn about recent measures against poverty and unemployment in rural Poland. A university in Wroclaw puts forward a noteworthy social experiment related to centuries of Polish agrarian tradition: instead of financial benefits, the inhabitants of a small community are given goats. They are expected to provide basic foodstuffs such as milk and cheese for "welfare" recipients who cannot be accused of passivity. Many of the families who took part in the experiment had never raised goats, so they gained a lot of new experiences thanks to the animals. The film is a comic portrait of Polish reality in the context of an enlarging European Union.
