Madame Catherine
La historia podría contarse desde el punto de vista de Perroquet, un irritante pájaro doméstico que ha visto a su dueña, la vieja Mme. Catherine, palmarla por culpa de demasiados excesos.

Pero también podría seguirse a través de las botellas de vino que sirve Yann, el tabernero, y que comparte gustosamente con sus amigos Eric y Jean-Claude el gendarme. O podríamos escoger el trayecto sinuoso de una caja de galletas... (FILMAFFINITY)
