DOWN THERE IN THE JUNGLE

Category: Edition 1988

Synopsis
A puncture blocks a bus on the Roma L'Aquila motorway right on a viaduct: at the time of leaving, nine people miss the call. The vehicle, after several protests from the other passengers, starts again. These nine, which are on the steep banks of a rushing river under the viaduct, in an attempt to go up the road and seek help, strangely stray into a tropical forest. To the surprise and the dismay, they join hunger, risks and fear: there are snakes and cheetahs; a trembling savannah is about to swallow a coach, Farrow; you have to walk and sleep between pitfalls of all kinds.
