Ranna's Silence narrates the story of a seven-year-old girl and her hen, Kakoli. Ranna lives in a village in Northern part of Iran and has a special hen called Kakoli. The hen lays eggs for Ranna and she draws a chicken on the shells of the eggs with colored pencils. She, along with her brother, collects the eggs so they can have the chickens like their hen Kakoli. On a rainy night, Kakoli is hunted by a jackal and the story goes on.
