The story
Inspired by a traditional gaelic poem about a hen looking
for a place to make a nest . Set in the small crofting community
of Assynt (in NW Sutherland), the story interweaves the modern
and ancient through music and animation.
Seordag is a metal hen with a TV set body. On her quest to find
a place to make her nest, Seordag encounters a helpful seagull,
a cow-fiddle, an accordian sheep, a talking cement mixer and
Marlene, the hardy crofter. Seordags' new friends help her to
make a fabulous hen house where she lays three eggs. They hatch
into mobile phone chicks and they have a grand ceilidh. 2003
