What Is The Chimp About?

The premise of The Chimp without spoilers.

Nicknamed “The Chimp” for his large ears, a teenage boy lives in the small town of Balyktchy, Kirghizstan—a former part of the USSR in central Asia. His family unravels under his father’s alcoholism, he feels isolated as his friends pair off into couples, and his dull job on the railway tracks offers little inspiration.
