The Goat Horn

A dark, meditative tragedy about a father's obsessive revenge and his daughter's struggle between duty and selfhood in Ottoman-occupied Bulgaria.

XVII century, Bulgaria is under Ottoman rule. Four men break into the house of the shepherd Karaivan, raping and killing his wife in full view of their child, Maria. To protect his daughter and to enact revenge, he raises Maria as a son, teaching her to fight and kill. But as Maria grows up, she longs for a different life.
