This was one of the strangest movies I've seen in a long time - it is about a guy in his 40ies who happens to have a duck on his head. No real duck, of course, but a white, soft toy duck (more looking like a goose, btw).
The movie starts when our protagonist Al can no longer cope with life's obstacles and goes to see a psychiatrist, Dr. Schwarz. On his comfy couch, Al tells his life-story: from his childhood, first love, finding a job, etc. And it is always this naughty little duck that messes things up. No no, don't expect this duck to talk or move or do anything. It doesn't. Nothing at all. It just sits there and confuses people... And this is what this wonderfully entertaining movie is apparently about: People getting confused and distracted from the real person by mere superficial appearance. The duck is not doing anything at all, but people get nervous, look at it - and finally escape from Al. I like the message of this movie a lot, since it seems to address the current state of many people being tremendously superficial.
Anyhow - this is a very funny movie too. The things that happen to poor Al are nothing less than hilariously crazy. I guess this is due to the fact that the filmmakers did not want to make a stern, sad movie but something you can laugh about/with. Congratulations, you did your job, this is a great movie :-)
