Monkey Shines background

Monkey Shines

A man in a wheelchair forms a remarkable bond with a trained monkey, which initially inspires him to overcome his physical constraints. However, as their connection grows, the monkey's emotions and desires take on a life of their own, leading to a complex and dynamic relationship.

Allan Mann, a law student, becomes quadriplegic after a dog attack and a truck accident. Despite his new limitations, his life takes a dramatic turn when his best friend, scientist Geoffrey Fisher, introduces him to Ella, a specially trained monkey designed to assist him. However, Geoffrey's experimental drug begins to alter Ella's behavior, and she develops a disturbing mental connection with Allan, who starts to believe she can harm those he despises.
