Film Synopsis
Édouard, the eldest son of the king of the apes, is expelled
from his tribe for being too puny. He grows up far away, in the
company of his friend Ian, and being endowed with a rare gift for
invention, he discovers fire, hunting, love and even hope. His
dream is that one day he will be able to share what he has discovered
with his own kind, and guide them towards a more civilised way of life,
where one doesn't eat one's father...
Franz Kafka's letters to his fiancée Felice Bauer not only reveal a soul in torment; they also give us a harrowing self-portrait of a man appalled by his own existence.
