Human Nature (2001)
A philosophical burlesque, Human Nature follows the ups and downs of an obsessive scientist, a female naturalist, and the man they discover, born and raised in the wild. As scientist Nathan trains the wild man, Puff, in the ways of the world - starting with table manners - Nathan's lover Lila fights to preserve the man's simian past, which represents a freedom enviable to most. mentally disabled, individual, human evolution, experiment, small person, sexuality, philosophy, professor, mouse, arts and culture, civilization, sapient, ethologist, kaspar-hauser-syndrom, zoo, forest, author, hair, disabled
