Screened as part of Paris's first Palestinian film festival, the documentary-animation hybrid recounts the true story of a group of fugitive farmyard animals during the first Intifada.pbr As the Israeli army closes in on the cows, Shomali brings a touch of black humour to the surreal sequence of events.
