This film is subtitled, “A Bedouin tale about right and wrong - discipline and responsibility. “The tale is about Taleb, a shepherd’s son, who has a pet lamb from his father’s flock. Taleb steals the lamb, after it is taken to the market to be sold for slaughter, and hides in the desert with it. The angry father finds them, but how the story ends is left up to the viewer to decide.
