Un indien dans la ville (1994)
Directed by Hervé Palud

Film Synopsis

Stéphane Marchado, an international trader who is addicted to living life in the fast lane, finds himself in a quandary when his girlfriend Charlotte insists that they get married.  The problem is that Stéphane is already married, although he hasn't seen his wife Patricia for thirteen years, not since the day she walked out on him without leaving a forwarding address.  Patricia, it seems, is now living happily in a village deep in the Amazonian rain forest.  Without delay, Stéphane sets off to find her and persuade her to agree to an amicable divorce.  Patricia has no intention of returning to the man she has grown to despise and so is more than willing to give Stéphane what he wants.

The one thing that Stéphane hasn't bargained on is the revelation that he has a young son, Mimi-Siku, who is equally oblivious to his existence.  It seems that the jungle boy has a burning desire to see the big city for himself, so, on the pretext of establishing some kind of paternal rapport with the child, Stéphane invites him to spend a few days with him in Paris.  Arrayed in his usual jungle attire, Mimi-Siku suffers far less from the ensuing clash of cultures than his father.  Within a few days, the mischievous little boy succeeds in completely upending the lives of Stéphane and his business partner Richard, just as these two stand to lose a fortune through a mistimed business deal...
