Hen

Where she was born, she is no longer willing to put up with anything. So she sets out into the world. But life on the outside is no walk in the park. After a few wild detours, she eventually finds what others of her kind can only dream of: love and a new home. What she does not know, however, is that right next to her freshly laid eggs, a smugglers’ hideout is hatching…

Hungarian provocateur György Pálfi (Taxidermia, Final Cut) tells, through the eyes of a feathered heroine, a tragicomic parable about freedom, fighting the system, and the longing for motherhood. This original dark comedy with an unexpected breakout star received an Honorable Mention at the Toronto festival.
