COURTENAY COMOX, British Columbia - TelAve -- The Pilot and the Parrot is an emotionally-driven international saga with message that resonates. Words matter. Deep and meaningful, the plot involves a family's communication strategies over time and the effects. For a world hypnotized by messaging, the action captures the psychological consequences of repetitive conditioning tactics - good and bad.

Second of The Trilogy: Looking Back, Here and Now, Searching Forward, it follows the multi-award-winning Wetion (2025). Grounded in realism, three generations of family members are portrayed in this enhanced multimedia production. Martin, a retired German doctor and Sophie, his French teacher-type wife, are grandparents prone to emphasizing lofty ideals, lineage and lifestyles. Their middle-aged offspring are kept busy with careers and juvenile children. These become factors in the unique situations faced. One family, many characters, distressing scenarios.
