What Is Monkey Business About?

The premise of Monkey Business without spoilers.

Around 1900, the principal of an orphanage attempts to profit by selling orphans into child labor. When young Wim is about to be sold to a cruel man who plans to use him and a monkey to pickpocket in the market, he escapes with the monkey's help. They hide on a canalboat and are aided by Jet, a girl living in the countryside. Wim finds refuge on Jet’s family farm, where he’s cared for by her siblings. Pursued by the man, Wim is recaptured and returned to the orphanage, but Jet’s father, a schoolteacher, intervenes in a story about the beginnings of compulsory school attendance.
