The storyline is loosely based on the famous plot about the Goat and her kids, published as "The Wolf and the Seven Young Kids" in Grimm's Fairy Tales and known to Romanian audience as Ion Creangă's "Capra cu trei iezi" ("The Goat and her three kids") and to Russian audience as a folk tale "Волк и семеро козлят" ("The Wolf and the Seven Kids"). In the movie the number of goat kids is five. The script is written by Vasilica Istrate and Yuri Entin, and Elisabeta Bostan is directing.
The movie was filmed simultaneously in three different languages (Romanian, Russian and English). The cast was formed by dancers from Moscow Circus, Moscow Circus on Ice and Bolshoi Ballet. In 1977 the movie won the «Silver Cup» at Children's Film Festival in Venice.

[edit] Theme song
"Mom is Home" performed by Mommy:
Mom is home
Now you can open the door
Don't be afraid now, not any more
Mom is home
I've brought for each one of you
Strawberries coated with honeydew
Only you and I can sing this song, that no one knows
Listen to each little word carefully
And before you all come running quickly to the door
Be sure the only one you open to, is me
Mom is home
Now you can open the door
Don't be afraid now, not any more
"I wish I could always make you smile" performed by one of the children:
Mommy,
There's so much love in your eyes
I wish I could always make you smile
Mommy,
Words can't really express
The way you give all your tenderness
All you do is give, before you're even asked to give
and you never once take a thing in return
You know I'll love you as long as I'll live
Mommy, I wish I could always make you smile
Mommy,
There's so much love in your eyes
I wish I could always make you smile
