THE CHICKEN

Beyond Belonging

Today is Selma’s birthday. To mark the occasion her father has sent her a chicken: from the front. But Selma wants to prevent the bird from ending up on the dinner table and sets it free. In besieged Sarajevo in 1993 the kind act of a child can also be extremely dangerous.
