A goose is robbed of her eggs – and of the ground beneath her feet – when a road is rolled out in the countryside. Searching in vain for her eggs, she gets lost in labyrinthine buildings. Together with other geese she eventually forms a resistance movement. A music video for Heaven Sent Cat, based on a 17th-cen- tury protest song against land-grabbing by the privileged classes.
