Story Analysis of Lamb(Dyrid) 2021:
In the very beginning of the film we hear something coming towards a flock of horses and the thing is breathing like an inhuman presence. The flock of horses runs away out of fear. That thing enters a farm of sheep situated nearby and it mates with a sheep.
A lonesome couple lives in an Icelandic rural area living off rearing sheep. One day a sheep gives birth to a human child with a sheep’s head. We call the woman of the farm, Tina and the man, Toros. They are childless. Tina always wanted to be a mother. Getting the half human child, she starts to think of it as a blessing and names her Ada.
Toros feels so guilty that he couldn’t give her a child. One day they find Ada nowhere. After a search they find her a little far with her mother sheep. They scold the sheep so that it never returns.
Chapter II:
Toros’s brother uncle Peter has come back to the village as he always loses his money gambling. Meanwhile, Ada’s mother(a sheep) starts calling ‘Baa’ in front of the windows for its child. Tina comes out and blows away its head. Uncle Peter watches it hiding.
Uncle Peter meets everyone but he wasn’t ready to see Ada. Ada is eight years old and can walk now but everyone gets scared looking at its appearance. Her face and one hand are sheep-like and the rest of it is human. Uncle Peter wants to talk about it with Toros and he isn’t interested in his advice.
One day, Peter starts to flirt with Tina saying he saw her taking a bath yesterday. He thinks she intentionally kept the door opened so that he could sneak in. They are acting childish playing house with that animal.
When Ada comes to Peter, he offers her some grass and it infuriates Toros. We can sense Peter will harm Ada and the time comes. Peter takes Ada to an open field and points a gun at her. Tina wakes up having a nightmare and finds Ada sleeping on the lap of uncle Peter! The audience is surprised watching that.
Chapter III:
Uncle Peter has built up a bond with Ada. He takes her with him everywhere, when he drives a tractor, when he goes fishing etc. He comes back catching fishes and Toros fascinatedly watches them coming.
They all watch sports and enjoy music. Ada can’t enjoy them so she goes outside. She never expected she would meet her demon father. She gets scared and gets back to her father. Toros is so drunk that he falls on the floor.
Tina lays him off on the bed and Peter takes the chance, he wants to be intimate with her. She refuses so he spills out that he knows she killed Ada’s mother(the sheep). It seems Tina has decided to respond to Peter’s sexual desire but instead she traps him into a room.
After a little while, Tina drops Peter to the bus station as he can be the reason for a disaster in her family. Meanwhile, the demon father kills Toros with the gun when he goes to look over the broken tractor. Returning home, Tina finds Ada and Toros nowhere. After looking around, she finds dead Toros.
The demon takes his child Ada forever.
