Leafie, A Hen into the Wild
Leafie, A Hen into the Wild (Korean: 마당을 나온 암탉; RR: Madangeul naon amtak), also called Daisy, A Hen into the Wild in English-speaking countries, is a 2011 South Korean animated drama film which depicts the freedom, will and instinctive motherly love of a hen as she raises an adopted duckling. The film made box office history by drawing over 2.2 million viewers, the largest audience for a home-grown animated film in South Korea. It also received widespread critical acclaim upon release.
The film is based on a well-respected and extremely popular children's novel of the same name authored by Hwang Sun-mi. The novel was first released in South Korea in 2000, and sold more than 1 million copies domestically. It has been sold to nine countries including France, Poland, Japan, China, Vietnam, Thailand and Italy. The Polish-translated version of the novel was named the "Best Book of the Year 2012" and "Best Book of Spring 2012" (Najlepsza książka na wiosnę 2012) by Granice.pl, a renowned literary organization in Poland. It was translated into English by Chi-young Kim for Penguin Books under the title The Hen Who Dreamed She Could Fly, and the 144-page novel was published on November 26, 2013.
Leafie (잎싹, leaf (잎) + sprout (싹)) lives on a chicken farm with many other egg-laying hens that are in battery cages. She dreams of being a mother, however she can't incubate her own eggs. Dreaming of having her own young, she devises an escape plan; she faints, causing the farmer to think that she is dead and to take her from the cage to dump with other dead hens. After the farmer leaves, Leafie slowly wakes up, but then she hears someone warning her to wake up and she finds herself confronted and threatened by a one-eyed weasel known as One-Eye (애꾸눈 "Aeggunun"). Her life is saved through the intervention of Wanderer (a mallard duck, 나그네 "Nagnae") who saves her by trapping the weasel in the farmer's wheelbarrow but then leaves without a word, not even giving Leafie his name when she asks.
Leafie returns to the farm to join the group of farm animals who reside outside the egg farm in the yard, but the animals there aren't fond of her and she gets into an argument with the barnyard rooster who refuses to allow her into his flock, insisting that her place is to simply spend her life laying eggs.
With nowhere else to go, Leafie leaves the farm and arrives in the wild, where she meets Mr. Otter (달수 "Dalsu"), who has heard about Leafie and helps her find a place to live on Wanderer's behalf. The now wild hen meets Wanderer again, and discovers he has a mate. However, that very night, One-Eye attacks and Wanderer's mate tragically dies.
After hearing the commotion, Leafie enters the nest and finds a single egg. Wanderer decides to let Leafie look after the egg for a few days, meaning to exact revenge on One-Eye and ensure their protection. Wanderer instructs Leafie to take his unborn child to the Everglades, telling her she will understand why in time before he leaves her to find the weasel. That night One-Eye returns, and Wanderer engages her in a fight to the death. Leafie witnesses the battle and Wanderer is killed by One-Eye, leaving Leafie completely heartbroken.
After Wanderer's death, the egg hatches into a duckling that imprints on Leafie, thinking that the hen is his mother. Leafie tearfully accepts him as her son and names him "Chorok head" or "Greenie" (초록머리, 초록(이) in the movie), and together they head to the glade where Wanderer asked.
Leafie raises Greenie and watches him grow up. Mr. Otter teaches Greenie to swim, and later enlists the help from a local bat and an owl to help a then-teenaged Greenie learn how to fly. One day, however, Greenie tries befriending some Mandarin ducks who he meets, but they make fun of Leafie, who they think is crazy. Meanwhile, Leafie is saddened to learn the local water birds don't like or accept her in their community when Mr. Otter accidentally blurts it out to her. She then meets up with Greenie, who has been teased by the other ducks and blames Leafie for him being an outcast. After discovering that they are indeed both different, Greenie runs away, feeling that he doesn't need her anymore.
