Description:

In an extraordinary tale of companionship, the life of a quadriplegic individual takes an unexpected turn when he is paired with a highly-trained monkey designed to assist with his day-to-day needs. As their bond deepens over time, the monkey starts developing emotions and a sense of protectiveness towards its human counterpart. However, this newfound connection brings forth a darker side as well – the monkey's suppressed rage begins to surface, targeting anyone who gets too close or poses a threat to their unique relationship. This thought-provoking film delves into themes of dependence, loyalty, and the blurred line between man and beast. The narrative unfolds in an emotional rollercoaster ride that leaves viewers questioning the true nature of human-animal relationships while exploring the consequences of unchecked anger and jealousy.
