Bulgaria, 17th century. Four Turks break into the house of Karaivan, raping and killing his wife in full view of their young daughter. When Karaivan discovers the crime, he retreats to the mountains and raises his daughter as a boy, training her with the sole purpose of taking revenge on the perpetrators. The Goat Horn is an archetypal revenge story of rare intensity and one of the greatest artistic and commercial successes of Bulgarian cinema.
