Hen

György Pálfi’s audacious allegorical drama follows a Leghorn hen who escapes an industrial farm and seeks refuge in the courtyard of a struggling, family-run restaurant. As she navigates turkey hierarchies, cunning foxes and the theft of her eggs, a grim human story of exploitation and smuggling unfolds around her. By filtering human cruelty and compromise through an animal’s quest for home, Hen becomes a darkly comic, unexpectedly moving reflection on survival and responsibility.
