Parakeet

The week before she is to be married, the Bride is visited by her dead grandmother in the form of a parakeet. During their conversation, the bird warns that the Bride should call off the wedding and go find her estranged brother instead, emphasizing the importance of this message by ruining the Bride’s wedding dress. This startling encounter leads the Bride not only to begin searching for her brother but also to reconsider her upcoming marriage and ponder life’s big questions. While searching for a replacement wedding dress, she encounters a former lover, making her think about past partnership choices. One morning, she wakes up in her mother’s body and must literally “walk in her shoes,” resulting in a better understanding of what drives her mother. When she locates and confronts her brother, her entire outlook changes.
