Told entirely from the perspective of its avian protagonist, Hen follows a chicken who escapes an industrial farm only to find herself navigating the pecking order of a crumbling seaside restaurant in Greece.
As she fights to protect her eggs, she becomes an unwitting witness to the complex human lives around her as the restaurant is caught up in greed, smuggling, and the migrant crisis.
★★★★ – “In a feat of cinematic mystery and skill György Pálfi coaxes a tour de force from his poultry cast in this parable of animal and human interrelations.” – The Guardian.
