Bad Lucky Goat
SXSW Film Festival
•
Comedy, Drama
After accidentally killing a bearded goat with their father’s truck, two incompatible teenagers embark on a journey of reconciliation and comedic misadventure along Colombia’s breathtaking Caribbean coast. With no money, brother and sister Corn and Rita must find a way to get the damaged truck fixed in time to pick up the tourists that will be staying at their family’s hotel. While struggling to conceal the accident, the siblings visit a butcher, Rastafari drum makers, a pawn shop and even a witch doctor over the course of an amazing 24-hour odyssey around Port Paradise.
A world premiere at SXSW, BAD LUCKY GOAT is a “genuine crowdpleaser” that provides a “blend of naturalistic dialogue and magic realism that’s both charming and unpredictable” (IndieWire).
“There’s a whiff of The Gods Must Be Crazy whimsy wafting through BAD LUCKY GOAT, an affably quirky debut feature by Bogota, Colombia-based Samir Oliveros [that] proves as inviting as a gentle tropical breeze.” –The Hollywood Reporter
DIRECTED BY SAMIR OLIVEROS
