The eighties have to be considered part of the modern movie era. And already, this is a hidden gem.
The plot is about a government project which uses chimpanzees as guinea pigs in dangerous experiments, and about a man's change from bureaucrat to caring individual.
The plot could have been mundane and mushy, but instead was well crafted.
The film is expertly directed and written. We feel the pains and struggles. It is very moving, and sure to create a tear among the hardest hearts in places.
