Synopsis: A young man visits his lonely uncle, through that changes his life at once.
The uncle is an untidy, voluble man. He is prone to wearing several pairs of trousers. He harbours an irrational dislike for old televisions. He seems unreasonably attached to his sailor’s hat. He decides that shoes are unworthy and gives them away for free. This may help to understand the old man, but also somehow obscures him: he can’t be pinned down. The uncle, if that is what he is called, inhabits a subversive world of impulsion, insatiability and chaos, and nothing – not even the camera – can get in his way. Parrot is truly absurd and wildly inventive, at all times defying narrative convention and doing its own thing with considerable gusto.
