The Liar Shepherd SYNOPSIS

The villagers who have lost their shepherd in an accident, are looking for a shepherd in the neighbouring village.

Alimorad and his sister Robab accept the duties of looking after the herd, though the villagers believe that they are too young and incapable for the job.

When they ask Alimorad to take a mule to the forest and leave it at the mercy of the wolves, he is forced to tell a lie!

A divorced father and his teenage daughter go for camping outdoors. During this sojourn, their relationship undergoes an immense hurling and reaches a revelation!

The 11-minute movie is directed by Dana Blankstein from Israel.

The feeling of patriotism is brought to life vividly through a little boy who, in all his innocence starts a conversation with someone whose significance is greater than his youthful understanding.

The respect and love that the boy has for this figure slowly unfolds as he declares a promise that when he comes of age, he will honour, protect and serve the nation.

They have been on the run for a long time- a man and his very young son.

They climb the chassis of a truck to travel the remaining distance.

When they reach their destination, they realise they are still in trouble. In the end, the father is forced to make a choice between two evils to provide for his son’s future.

Until he moved to the small town of Bellbach, 12-year-old Martin’s life seemed to be okay.

There is huge uproar in the forest. Beaver’s teeth have been stolen. Detective Owl and his assistant Piglet are to puzzle out this mysterious crime.

Several forest inhabitants appear to be possible offenders but the culprit is not so easily discovered.
