In 1860, Victorian scientists capture a pygmy couple during an expedition in Central Africa.

However, the primitive outlook of the pygmies and the sophisticated methods used by the scientists, as well as the complications of an adapting to a foreign environment, make their anthropological study all the more difficult.
