Chicken for Linda!

Summary

Paulette feels guilty after unjustly punishing her daughter Linda and would do anything to make it up to her. She would even make chicken with peppers, even though she doesn't like it and can’t cook. But how will she find a chicken when the whole country is on general strike?

A fun, moving film with spectacular animation and use of colour which has delighted audiences and juries at many international festivals.

Chiara Malta was born in Rome in the spring of 1977. She graduated from Dams and then moved to France, so to attend Ateliers Varan. Her first work, Je m’appelle Mouhamed, comes from there. From then on, she makes ‘private’ films, that is made of super8 footage and digital: they are some sorts of mosaics of home movies and animated sequences.
