This short observational, awardwinning documentary about gorillas in the Copenhagen Zoo brings a lot of fun and melancholy to the audience. Of course it’s also like a mirror put up in front of us human beings, and for the film buffs a warm greeting to Bert Haanstra and his film about the Zoo. It has been a hit in the distribution of the Danish Fil Institute for more than twenty years.
