Hen

A hens-eye view of the world reveals the cut-throat nature of existence and puts human flaws into relief in this tragi comic tale from Gyrgy Plfi (Hukkle).An animal protagonist can take you places where people cannot penetrate.

This is a coming-of-age story but of a chicken.Surviving battery farming, a fox, traffic, the dangers of a big city, a dog and being made into soup, the hen ends up taking refuge in a crumbling Greek seaside restaurant where a human tragedy is unfolding.

A filmmaking tour-de-force with real animals in real locations and a brilliant score, this is something different.
