The Old Man and the Parrot

Manuel, a retiree in Buenos Aires, finds his only companion—a talking parrot named Lorenzo—has begun quoting political speeches. The bird doesn't just mimic words but engages in philosophical debates about Argentina's fate, forcing the old man to reconsider his detached worldview. Neighbors mistake Lorenzo for a new radical preacher, while a local politician sees the parrot as a threat to his re-election. The 2026 comedy unfolds in a cramped apartment, turning domestic absurdity into sharp satire on society and media. The story balances a touching friendship between man and bird with grotesque farce, where a feathered orator becomes an unwitting symbol of public discontent.
