Plot[edit]
Three young Dutch soldiers shoot a goat while guarding a truck in the middle of nowhere, during a mission in the Middle East. As stress and heat take their toll, they become increasingly disconnected to reality and their relationship with the young boy who is the goat's owner becomes more precarious, resulting in his death and their deep shock. They are rescued and recoup in Crete, where their drinking, dancing, crying and screaming is in contrast with their debrief, where nobody talks about how they feel.
