Movie description:
»Kadin« (»The Goat«) features the Ivatans who live in this remote island located in the northern-most tip of Luzon. In the film, Peping and Lita spend a day searching for their missing goat, which is the family’s source of income.
In the small Ivatan village of Chavayan in Sabtang Island, Batanes, Peping – a ten-year-old boy – and his family make a living out of the milk provided by their kadin (goat), Gima. One morning, he wakes up to find out that Gima, is missing. Together with his younger sister, Lita, the two goes on a seemingly impossible search for the goat ...
The odyssey teaches the boy about the true meaning of life where kindness and cruelty can be found in close proximity.
A boy wakes up and finds his goat missing. He tries to find the goat before nightfall with his sister. The simple plot’s focus is innocence. Set in the backdrop of unclaimed natural beauty (subtly portrayed as being threatened by the arrival of outsiders; there seems to be tension between the natives and the outsiders as shown by a quick fight between the boy and a group of young transients), there are moments wherein the boy’s purity is tested; wherein an easier way out from his predicament is to succumb to thievery and other means.
