Men & Chicken (MÆND & HØNS)

description

After discovering their late father was in fact not their father at all, two misfit brothers set out to meet their biological father. Searching for their parents on the almost uninhabited island of Ork leads them to a new family – three siblings living in dilapidated sanatorium following their father’s bizarre rules. Finding themselves stranded and surrounded by abnormal people, the brothers soon discover the truth about themselves and their relatives – a truth tied to the off-limits basement. Star Mads Mikkelsen (HANNIBAL and the 2015 CUFF Selection THE SALVATION) collaborates once again with Danish filmmaking icon Anders Thomas Jensen (GREEN BUTCHERS and the CUFF 2008 selection ADAM’S APPLES). The absurdist comedy has already broken Danish box office records and is taking international film festivals by storm.
