CHUCK CHUCK BABY

WINNER BAFTA CYMRU BEST FEATURE/TELEVISION FILM & BAFTA CYMRU BREAKTHROUGH 2024

A film of love, loss and music set amongst the falling feathers of a chicken factory.

Present day, industrial north Wales. Helen spends her nights packing chickens and her days caring for dying mother-figure Gwen. Helen’s mundane world is turned upside down by the return of Joanne, a crush from her schooldays. The feeling is mutual, and as they fall in love, Helen’s zest for life returns – but Joanne feels the walls close in as she faces something darker from her past.
