L'impero dei pappagalli (1994)

A couple of gay artists both masters of talking parrots depart from Rome for an international competition for the most beautiful and playful specimen of Cacatoa Alba. Fabio's parrot is called Teto, Ottavio's is called Isis. The competition takes place on the island of Tenerife at the Loro Parque, the largest zoo of parrots and other exotic animals in the world. On the ship Fabio (who is a creator of special effects for the cinema) makes a dream where a group of inseparable sing two of his favorite songs: one by Lucio Dalla, the other by the vocal group of Take Six. The same night Ottavio, who is a director, dreams of doing a photo shoot at Naomi Campbell who wanders among the cages of Loro Parque in a wonderful dress by Roberto Capucci. At the hotel, after unpacking the bags, the two friends realize that Isis has begun to dance and gorge a few notes. Fabio is so impressed that he decides to really make the video of the two songs in computer graphics. But who made his dream? He or his Isis? He has no doubts about the intuitive and magical dimension in which the Cacatoas live, but his companion does not think the same way and teases him. In the evening at the hotel Robert turns on his laptop and finds on the web a video where the actress Valeria Solarino poses with two Cacatoas identical to them for 3D photos dedicated to Corriere della Sera, the first to be published in a newspaper. He remains stunned and calls Fabio because he runs to see. His cacatoa laughs and moves his neck up and down with the raised crest.
