The Hen

Where she was born, she will certainly not tolerate anything anymore. So she ventures out into the world. But life in the wild is no easy feat. After a few wild flights, she finally finds what only her kind can dream of. Love and a new home. Yet she has no idea that right next to her freshly laid eggs, a smuggler's den will hatch…

Hungarian provocateur György Pálfi tells through the eyes of his feathered heroine a tragicomic parable about freedom, the struggle against the system, and the longing for motherhood. This original dark comedy with an unexpected film star received an Honourable Mention at the Toronto Film Festival.
