Little Monkey

Directed by Delphine Dussoubs · 2011

Guided by his master, a young monkey faces his rite of passage into adulthood: taming fire, the embodiment of his fear of growing up, through the sound of the sacred djembe.

A rhythmic little coming-of-age fable in which drumming becomes the key to conquering fear.

A young monkey, initiated by his master, will pass his transition to adulthood. He will have to fight fire, metaphor for his fear of growing up, by taming the sound of the sacred djembe, symbol of independence.
