Why did the chicken cross the road? For a chance of freedom.
Told 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.
Including a cast of eight hens taking turns playing the lead, all with their own set of very specific skills, Hen is a modern day Greek tragedy, starring a heroine who can only observe, concentrated solely on fufilling her life goal of starting a family.
