The Boulugres

The film follows Herbert, an idealistic teenager with aspirations to become a doctor. Defying his parents' wishes for him to pursue wealth as an aviator, he seeks out the guidance of a wise old Boulugre. Herbert's journey leads him to a tribe struggling with a peculiar affliction, and he aims to help them by developing a vaccine.

However, his efforts are met with resistance from the Boulugres, who harbor a deep fear of needles and reject his help. Conflict arises with Chousk, a pharmaceutical mogul intent on profiting from the vaccine. As Herbert navigates these challenges, he finds solace in a romantic connection with a Yugoslav airline stewardess, further complicating his mission.
