The Rooster

Dan (Phoenix Raei) is a lonely country policeman in regional Victoria, Australia, who spends his mornings feeding his angry rooster. His mental state appears to be fragile, especially after a childhood friend, Steve (Rhys Mitchell), is found dead in the forest, and his rooster is killed by a fox. He takes time off work and explores the bush, where he encounters The Hermit (Hugo Weaving) living in a hut in the forest. The rest of the film revolves around the relationship between the two men.
