Three Goats

The Three Goats

This animated short story is based on a well known tale of three goats who try to get across a river. A big troll living under the bridge doesn’t let them cross the bridge. The end of the animated story differs from the end of the original tale. Themes for a conversation: seeking for a solution in problematic situations, using force, how useful the teachings of old tales are in modern times, peaceful coexistence, circle of violence, telling lies, squealing.
