Kok Kok Kokoook

Nur, a chicken seller, notices traces of an accident on his beloved motorcycle. Wondering if it's connected to yesterday's hit-and-run in town, he questions those who borrowed his bike, but people don't find him worthy enough to talk to as he is an outsider and a Muslim. As the victim is related to a minister, authorities gradually close in on him, while Abebe from South Sudan follows him around saying she wants to have his baby. In this film Kafkaesque sentiments are blended with mythical imagination, with the world often seen through the eyes of a chicken perched on Nur's shoulder. Maharshi Tuhin Kashyap zooms in on minorities struggling to find reasons to survive all alone amid catastrophe. If chickens are dinosaurs that transformed to avoid extinction, and the motorcycle is a lover hiding from extortion and oppression, might this world become just a little more bearable for them?
