In Indonesia, Ina Krisniati (Kris) takes a job as a nanny to the Gunawan family. She finds the mistress of the house domineering and unfriendly. The children, Putri and Agus, are strange. Wild goats roam the property. They speak often of The Goat-Nurse, who seems to be some kind of powerful spirit. Kris sees strange apparitions around the house at night. Mrs. Gunawan's father-in-law visits, and they argue about some kind of deal she has entered into.
The Goat-Nurse, some kind of monster, attacks the house. Hordes of wild goats converge on the house and the family...
A potent and atmospheric story, with some effective moments.
