The Savage Innocents (1960)

1h 50m 1960 France, Italy, United Kingdom

An isolated Eskimo, unfamiliar with the ways of white society, ventures to a trading post and inadvertently causes the death of a missionary. This tragic incident triggers a manhunt, as law enforcement descends upon him, complicating his already fragile existence. Struggling to navigate a world he scarcely understands, he grapples with themes of survival, cultural clash, and the consequences of an encounter between two vastly different worlds. As the chase unfolds, his innocence and primal instincts are put to the test against a backdrop of moral ambiguity and societal expectations.
