(Comedy/Drama/Romance) Israel 2023

121 min. PG Director: Avi Nesher

Set in the 1980s, this epic tale with hints of Almodóvar melodrama revolves around Amitay, a struggling writer living near a monkey park from which the movie gets its name. Envious of his more celebrated colleagues and yearning for Tamar, his childhood love now widowed, Amitay conceives a plan to revive his literary reputation. Based on a true event, this is the 8th Avi Nesher film to grace this festival, and like all the others, it is moving, amusing, and beautifully filmed.
