(The Birdcage, 1996)
Armand und Albert teilen alles miteinander, auch ihr Bett. In ihrem schrillen Drag Queen Nightclub "The Birdcage" führen die beiden ein herrliches Leben - bis Armands "Fehltritt", sein Sohn Val, beschließt, die Tochter eines ultrakonservativen Senators zu heiraten. Für den sittenstrengen Politiker müssen die Paradisvögel plötzlich auf "normal machen". Ein fast unmögliches Unterfangen... Robin Williams ("Mrs. Doubtfire") und Gene Hackmann ("Erbarmungslos") begeistern in der Hollywood-Variante des Kultfilms "Ein Käfig voller Narren". Top-Komödie!
