The Meadow. Jela Hasler. 2015.

In a dry, barren landscape, a herd of cattle is grazing, accompanied by dogs, looked after by cowboys.

Step by step, the seemingly peaceful place starts to prove fallacious to the viewer, while the cows end their day as it began.

Filmed in the occupied Golan Heights.
