A tiny bird with a shell stuck on his head refuses to accept that the world has already decided what he can't do. Every failure just becomes the setup for the next ridiculous invention, the next impossible attempt. Priscilla watches him crash and burn and comes back anyway, because that's what you do when someone you love is too stubborn to quit.
