György Pálfi "HEN"
International co-production: Greece, Germany, Hungary
Seen through a chicken’s eyes, the film follows an escapee to a decaying Greek seaside restaurant, protecting her eggs whilst observing the complexity of human lives.
«With great power comes great responsibility» - but what if the hero is just a hen?
Escaping from a chicken farm, she finds refuge in the courtyard of a crumbling restaurant. There, she discovers love, confronts the pecking order, and fights to protect her eggs from a greedy owner. Her droll yet touching quest for motherhood mirrors the messy compromises and silent struggles of human lives.
