Synopsis: A mix of documentary, stop-motion animation and re-enactment, this film offers an unexpectedly humorous account of one town's experience of the first Intifada by recounting the true story of how the Palestinian neighborhood of Beit Sahour near Bethlehem acquired a herd of 18 dairy cows and then had to hide them from the Israeli security forces when their existence was absurdly deemed a threat to national security.
