The world through the eyes of a chicken, with humans in a shocking supporting role

The film 'Hen' offers a unique perspective by showcasing the life of a chicken escaping from a battery farm, blending humor with darker themes. Directed by György Pálfi, it begins with the harsh realities of industrial poultry farming, then shifts to the adventures of a black chick navigating various environments. While the film anthropomorphizes its protagonist, it also introduces a shocking twist, linking the chicken's struggle for survival to the human refugee crisis and exploitation. This juxtaposition raises questions about the portrayal of animal suffering in human narratives, ultimately providing a thought-provoking commentary on both animal and human experiences.
