György Pálfi’s daring and wholly original Hen tells an unforgettable tale of survival—through the eyes of a chicken.

Escaping the bleak confines of an industrial farm, a determined hen sets off in search of a place to call home, wandering into the messy, unpredictable world of humans. From seaside villages to shadowy backrooms, she observes longing, desperation, humor, and fragile kindness with quiet, watchful presence.

Blending dark comedy with poignant social insight, Pálfi crafts a visually inventive, emotionally resonant fable about displacement, hope, and the instinct to seek something better—no matter how small or feathered you may be.
