György Pálfi (I AM NOT YOUR FRIEND, CIFF 2009) directs a riveting modern odyssey featuring a mighty, fearless heroine, played by eight real-life Hungarian chickens named Eszti, Szandi, Feri, Enci, Eti, Enikő, Nóra, and Anett. HEN is simply unmissable.

"With great power comes great responsibility" — but what if the hero is just a hen? Escaping from a chicken farm, a hen 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.
