Simple Sundries
Intrepid entrepreneur Constance is recently arrived in town in search of a more Authentic Lifestyle. Her plans to open an extravagant sundries shop in East Austin are thwarted by the former residents of her recently flipped bungalow, namely a colony of monk parakeets who have other plans for their longtime home. A comic exploration into the human folly of our collective actions as we face Austin’s current economic expansion and real estate explosion.
