The main character of The Hen is a hen who escapes from a chicken hatchery and ends up in the courtyard of a dilapidated restaurant after funny and dangerous adventures. Here he finds love, but must face the hierarchy of the henhouse and protect his eggs from the restaurant owner. However, in parallel with the hen’s success story of starting a family, a terrible human tragedy also unfolds in the background, and the viewer is simultaneously confronted with the triumph of life and the increasingly destructive stages of the road to sin.
