A couple witnesses the birth of a half-lamb half-human creature and decides to raise it as their daughter. Religious references aside, I thought the film was mostly a parable on the strained relationship mankind has with its own primal instincts and with what nature gives and takes.
The pacing is overwhelmingly slow, but I rarely felt bored thanks to the evocative subtlety of the cinematography and the captivating score. The silent scenes where they let animals communicate with their eyes were particularly effective.
Nevertheless, it felt like much more could have been done with these themes. I understand that there might have been budget limits, but there was barely enough material for a 45-minute short, with voluntarily cryptic scenes that exist to emphasize the arthouse undertones and reach the minimum required length for a feature.
