Synopsis

In life, there are good things and important things. And then there are vital things. If you want to survive, you must not let comfort dull your instincts: you must fight for life long before war reaches your doorstep. And if war is already at your door, drawing the curtains won’t help, and it might just happen that the most sensible advice comes from where you least expect it – for example, from a life-experienced parrot.
