Synopsis

An old Prince fails on an unknown shore. Wounded and lost, he is found by young Tom and collected by his parents – two researchers forced into exile because they dared to believe in the existence of other peoples of apes… The Prince, guided by his young friend Tom, discovers with enthusiasm and fascination this society yet frozen and sclerotic. Meanwhile, the couple of researchers dream to convince the Academy of the veracity of their previously rejected thesis… Conceived as a narrative, close to the fable, The Prince’s Journey is a sort of travel diary in a world that is a little familiar to us, but very surprising for this old ape.
