Der Papagei

Directed by Ralf Huettner

With Harald Juhnke, Dominic Raacke, Veronica Ferres, Ilse Zielstorff and Ludwig Haas

While the unemployed actor Dieter "Did" Stricker keeps his head above water as a barker, his old acquaintance Rainer turns up, who now works as a PR strategist for the radical right-wing NSDU party. Did's rhetorical talent and his great poses would suit the faceless party well. With a few tricks, Rainer persuades his former colleague to run for office. With success: the popularity of the party increases, as do Stricker's fees. But suddenly his conscience speaks out.
