Why watch?
“As a big chicken fan, I was immediately sold when I heard this film is entirely from the perspective of its avian protagonist. I’ve had a few strange looks when I’ve explained the concept to people, but it’s so beautifully handled. It doesn’t feel even remotely gimmicky and manages to capture both human and bird dramas vividly. I was totally engrossed and loved the music, cinematography, incredibly impressive bird performances and everything about the film.”

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.
