About this item

Yared Zeleke's remarkable feature debut tells the story of young Ephraim, a half-Jewish, Ethiopian boy who is sent by his father to live among distant relatives after his mother s death. Ephraim uses his cooking skills to carve out a place among his cousins, but when his uncle decides that his beloved sheep must be sacrificed for the next religious feast, he hatches a plan to save the animal and return home. Beautifully shot against the majestic backdrop of Ethiopia s southern mountains, LAMB is an affecting tale about what people will risk in order to take charge of their own destinies. Sheer brilliance! --The GuardianBeautifully crafted. --The Hollywood Reporter
