The Monkey

Directed by Xosé Zapata and Lorenzo Degl'Innocenti

With Colm Meaney, Àlex Brendemühl, Eduardo Araujo de Barros, Dominic Abbott and Jim Trainor

In 1588, a castaway from the Spanish Armada, sent from Portugal by Philip II of Spain to conquer England, is captured on an Irish beach. There he is tried, declared guilty and hanged to death. All of this would be reasonable according to the laws of war and hatred among humans. The problem is the prisoner is a monkey.
