Four million years ago, our ancestors made what, for many, was the leap from ape to man: when they began walking on two legs. Imagine then, if there lived someone that had never made this leap. Filmed over the last year, this is the sensitively told story of a Turkish family of 19 siblings - five of whom still walk on all fours as adults. Scientists view the family as a remarkable, living, anthropological find - but what do they tell us about human evolution? The film is both an intimate portrait of an extraordinary family and an examination of the fierce scientific debate that the family's existence has fuelled.
