Synopsis – Darwin's incident:

A commando operation led by the Animal Liberation Alliance, a radical animal rights organization, unveils a shocking discovery in a biological research institute. In the midst of the chaos, a pregnant chimpanzee is rescued, and against all odds, she gives birth to a Humanzee, a half-human, half-chimpanzee hybrid being named Charlie.

Raised by humans, Charlie spent the first 15 years of his life in a loving family environment, educated at home away from prying eyes. However, wishing to offer him a chance at normality, his adoptive parents decided to enroll him in a private high school. It is there that Charlie meets Lucy, a bright but socially isolated teenager, with whom he forms a deep friendship.

However, the tranquility of this new life is threatened when the Animal Liberation Alliance, known for its terrorist activities in favor of animal liberation, seeks to recruit Charlie. Using increasingly manipulative and violent methods, they want to make him a symbol for their cause. As tensions escalate, public opinion, once fascinated by this "miracle" of nature, begins to see Charlie in a different light.
