Plot
Returning to Canada after a 20-year exile in Africa, where he dedicated himself to humanitarian work, Norbert, a former revolutionary, longs to go home. Caught in the Canadian bureaucratic system, he considers stowing away on a cargo ship. Before leaving, he meets a young boy, Christophe, a juvenile delinquent who insists on finding a home for Trotsky, the capuchin monkey Norbert is forced to abandon before boarding the ship. Christophe convinces Norbert to take Trotsky to the zoo and drop him off at his mother's house near Quebec City, where Norbert will have to catch the cargo ship that has left without him.
