A chimp sees humanity's chaos and somehow makes more sense than we do.
A mild political satire about a peculiar friendship between a lonesome monkey and an (impoverished) zoo warden, and about an upside-down world in transition as seen by a chimpanzee.
Acting
Çun Lajçi's weary dignity opposite a chimp — yes, really.
Direction
Blaževski's deadpan absurdism masks genuine political rage.
Writing
Satire sharp enough to cut, gentle enough to sting.
Director
Vladimir Blaževski
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Released during North Macedonia's name dispute turmoil, the film's bureaucratic chaos mirrors real governmental dysfunction. Director Blaževski has called it his 'most personal political statement.'
The chimp was reportedly a local circus rescue; rumors persist that he improvised several scenes, including the memorable mirror sequence. The crew allegedly couldn't predict his movements, forcing documentary-style shooting.
