Country: UK
Year: 1984
Duration: 93'


Ben raises geese and doesn’t want to miss
out on the pre-Christmas profits. Since
there is a strike on, he decides to bring his
entire flock to the London market by foot.
The convoy sets off like the bovine herds of
Hawk’s Red River. An irresistible comedy
about the epic of little things, with meek
Ian Holm instead of a heroic John Wayne.
