Description
Marni, who survived the loss of an unborn child after her husband’s cruel beatings, once found a baby Australian magpie that had fallen out of its nest. She cared for it and named it Tamagotchi. Since then, its “family” isn’t a pack of wild magpies with a strict father-leader—it’s Marni and her husband Rob: a farmer and the best woodcutter in the area, who, however, can’t stand magpies. Instead of the usual two-voice magpie calls, Tamo now repeats human words and phrases. Marni records his “acts” and posts them online, and the bird’s popularity quickly grows—he already has tens of thousands of followers.
When things get really tight on the farm, Marni, on her sister’s advice, decides to turn Tamo’s talent into a source of income. Financially, things improve, but darkness gathers in the house: Rob, consumed by jealousy and the desire to control his wife, humiliates her and raises his hand. After a woodcutters’ competition, the situation finally gets out of control—and only Tamo manages to find an exit, even if it isn’t ideal.
And he himself tells this deep, lyrical, sometimes funny, and very truthful story—the magpie gentleman, in an impeccable black tuxedo with a white shirtfront.
