CHICKEN

Richard longs to put down roots but his restless and destructive brother, Polly needs to keep moving. When the land they live on is bought by a new landowner, and the electricity supply to their caravan is cut, their already precarious living conditions get even worse.

Here’s to indie British cinema! With echoes of Ken Loach’s indelible Kes, Joe Stephenson’s compassionate debut finds the perfect (and rare!) balance between rawness and tenderness. A talent to watch, already working on his second feature, starring no less than Ian McKellen & Vanessa Redgrave.
