ECFA Short Film Award

On Lena’s farm, it’s business as usual – until one little chick decides it wants to fly. Watched by the other hens who are dutifully laying their eggs, the chick flutters, climbs and tumbles, yet refuses to give up. Between barn, meadow and sky, a tender story unfolds about the courage to be different – and the determination to pursue your own dreams with everything you have.
