Synopsis

African tropical forest. A dark figure escapes through the thicket. The hunters’ shouting grows. The chimpanzee’s eyes shine on her dark face. Breathing heavily, she escapes through the jungle. The frightened animal reaches a beautiful colonial villa and enters. Leaving her natural environment, she will stand before an important choice. The Visit is a film that asks the question of where humanity begins.
