ABOUT A BIRD

***

2022 – An old parrot babbling Nazi slogans plunges the family of animal keeper Birgit Singer into a crucial test between political correctness, love of animals and the reality of German life. When the reconciliation with the Jewish parents-in-law fails, Birgit gets caught in the media crossfire and loses her job and her daughter's trust due to the bird, she finally explodes.
