Chicken (2015) Synopsis

Richard, a 15-year-old with learning disabilities, longs to put down roots, but his restless, destructive brother Polly needs to keep moving. When the land they live on is bought by a new landowner and the electricity supply to their caravan is cut, their already-precarious living conditions get even worse. Then a chance meeting with the new landowner's daughter, 17-year-old Annabel (Yasmin Paige), leaves Richard besotted, while Polly befriends the guys who run a seedy traveling fair. Richard's optimistic view on life becomes increasingly difficult to maintain as Polly's abusive behavior worsens and family secrets are revealed. His first true friend is Annabel. For better or worse, Richard's life is about to change forever.
