The hectic story of Edward, eldest son of the king of the simians, who, considered at birth to be too thin, is rejected by his tribe. He grew up far away from them, with his friend Ian, and, incredibly ingenious, he discovered fire, hunting, modern habitat, love and even hope. Generous, he wants to share everything, revolutionizes the established order, and leads his people with brilliance and humor towards true humanity where one does not eat his father.
