The verdict
There are not yet enough audience votes to give this a reliable score. It is playing 1 time at 1 cinema across 1 district, from HK$95. The cheapest seat is at CINEMATHEQUE in Yau Ma Tei, HK$95. Category IIA · 96 minutes.
What it is about
Told entirely 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. It's often said that animals have no morals, but do humans really possess humanity?
What to expect
A hen escapes an industrial farm and washes up at a seaside taverna in Greece, where she guards her eggs while the humans around her get tangled in smuggling and the migrant crisis. The whole movie stays locked to her eye-line, so you catch the human drama in fragments—a shouted argument half-glimpsed through a doorway, a body dumped near the coop at night. It is deadpan and unhurried, closer to a strange, sun-bleached fable than to agitprop. The conceit wears its 96 minutes lightly, but anyone hoping for a talking-animal caper should look elsewhere. Playing at a single cinema in one district, with just one screening in the next seven days. IIA, Greek with English subtitles. Cheapest ticket $95.
