What Is A Fool About?

The premise of A Fool without spoilers.

The story follows Latioazi, a simple goat farmer with a son in jail, whose life is upended when a young, mentally handicapped man unexpectedly joins him.

The film explores themes of kindness, cruelty, greed, and humanity, leaving the audience to question who the true fool might be.
