Chuck Chuck Baby is a film of love, loss and music set amongst the falling feathers of a chicken factory.
Set in present day industrial North Wales, Helen (Louise Brealey, Sherlock) spends her nights packing chickens and her days caring for a dying mother-figure Gwen (Sorcha Cusack, Father Brown).
Helen’s world takes an unexpected turn with the return of Joanne (Annabel Scholey, Split). They were the objects of the other’s unspoken teenage passions twenty years ago. One night, 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, and Helen’s painful memories cause her to flee.
Separated and alone, will both women reflect on their unfulfilled chance to break their barriers and allow love to win?
