Synopsis
Norbert has worked for twenty years in Africa. Either out of idealism or because he was forced to flee his country of origin. Now Norbert is determined to return to Africa, after living and working in Canada where he feels useless. Because he is without papers, Norbert plans to stow away on a cargo ship headed for Africa. But first he must get rid of Trotsky, his pet monkey. He has no choice but to abandon the small primate and hope that someone will pick him up. But an annoying kid spoils his plan. What starts as a confrontation slowly evolves into true companionship.
