Seattle International Film Festival 2026: Film #12
Fun little classical music Easter egg n that the scenes in the battery farm were scored to an ironic version of Aram Khachaturian's Spartacus, i.e. a tale about a group of the oppressed and exploited who just need to discover their strength, perhaps helped by a glorious hen of the people.
Synopsis: Escaping from a chicken farm, a hen finds refuge in the courtyard of a crumbling restaurant. There, she discovers love, confronts the pecking order, and fights to protect her eggs from a greedy owner. Her droll yet touching quest for motherhood mirrors the messy compromises and silent struggles of human lives.
