Tropical adventure starring Ben Kingsley

Deep in the heart of exotic Brazil, Cunda the trapper is desperate to make enough money to marry the widow Maria. Discovering four rare chimpanzees in the jungle, it seems his prayers have been answered. The city and matrimony beckon - but not before he has made the long and perilous journey back to civilisation and discovered the true meaning of love.
