Death Laid an Egg is an avant-garde Italian film that explores themes of obsession, deceit, and the dark underbelly of modern society. The plot revolves around a complex web of relationships and desires, gradually unraveling as the story progresses.

Marco, a wealthy executive, is engaged in an extramarital affair with Gabrielle, a beautiful young woman who also works for him. Simultaneously, Marco and his wife Anna run a state-of-the-art chicken farm. However, their seemingly idyllic life hides a multitude of twisted secrets and sinister intentions.

The narrative takes a chilling turn when a prostitute is brutally murdered with a knife in the city, seemingly suggesting Marco's involvement. As the audience delves deeper into the characters' lives, it becomes clear that nothing is as it seems.

Among the farm's employees, tensions rise when suspicions arise about the advertising head, whose actions appear dubious. Meanwhile, the enigmatic Gabrielle becomes involved in a plan to kill Anna, potentially paving the way for Marco and Gabrielle's relationship to thrive.

As the story progresses, the film presents debauched dinner parties hosted by Marco and Anna, where hidden desires and dark secrets manifest themselves amid an atmosphere of decadence and manipulation.

The climax of the film is reached when an automated factory malfunctions, resulting in grotesque and surreal chickens without heads or wings. This nightmarish imagery adds to the unsettling nature of the movie, with director David Lynch's influence palpable in these scenes.

Ultimately, all the characters' deceptions and murderous intentions reach a boiling point, leading to a climactic confrontation. However, the film takes an unexpected turn, subverting expectations and defying conventional narrative structures, leaving the audience with lingering questions and a haunting sense of unease.
