A film of love, loss and music set amongst the falling feathers of a chicken factory.
It’s present day in industrial North Wales. Helen, in her late 30s, spends her nights packing chickens and her days caring for a dying mother-figure Gwen. She lives in a small room in the house her clingy ex-husband shares with his dim-witted girlfriend and their new baby. Helen’s humdrum world takes an unexpected turn with the return of Joanne. They were the objects of the other’s unspoken teenage passions. Encouraged by Helen, Joanne starts a playful wooing game that re-awakens their youthful feelings. As they fall in love and lust, Helen’s zest for life returns but Joanne feels the walls closing in as she faces something much darker from her past. Helen’s world is shattered when Gwen dies and Joanne’s painful memories cause her to flee. Separated and alone, both women reflect on their unfulfilled chance. Eventually, they find the courage to let go of the past and allow their love to win.
