He lands hard in the African bush, already howling his brother's name: Nukie has lost Miko, seized by an American space foundation that keeps him wired up in a laboratory. As the little alien stumbles through the savanna, two twin boys take him in and hide him from a grasping village medicine man. Talking lions, a mischievous chimpanzee, a fearless nun, a scientist with a conscience and a lovestruck computer called E.D.D.I. round out this handmade, wide-eyed odyssey of interstellar family reunion.
