Synopsis
The Amazon rainforest is a luscious jungle wonderland, a treasure trove of many unidentified animals. The jungle is long on anecdotes about various legendary creatures, in particular the primate “Mono Grande.” A photo taken in the early 20th century of this gigantic ape amazed the world as a possible new simian, and sightings remain rife today.
“Does the Mono Grande really exist?”
Driven by the desire to find out, an NHK crew thrusts deep into the jungle, encountering exotic monkeys on the way.
After over 100 days of desperate exploration, the crew finally meets up with a enormous monkey! But is it the legendary Mono Grande they are after … ?
