Synopsis

Children perform a puppet theatre version of the fairytale of "The Wolf and the Seven Young Goats". They identify so strongly with their roles that the boundaries between acting and real life begin to blur. In restrained colours, the drawn animation shifts between these levels. For the boy who plays the big bad wolf the performance ends in an emotional borderline experience. This film is based on a collection of poetry by the Iranian children's and youth book writer Afsaneh Shaban-nejad.
