Man to Man is a 2005 historical drama film directed by Régis Wargnier and starring Joseph Fiennes, Kristin Scott Thomas and Iain Glen. One man in a team of Victorian scientists conducting research in Africa begins to have doubts about the human cost of their mission. It was scripted by William Boyd.

Synopsis

In 1860, Victorian scientists capture a pygmy couple during an expedition in Central Africa. They are transported back to the United Kingdom for further study as part of research involving the theory of the evolution of man. 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. Ultimately, as the pygmies become more absorbed to the public, major disagreements erupt culminating in a bloody and tragic confrontation.

Jean-Baptiste Adamsberg n'aime pas le printemps, le retour des beaux jours, les montées de sève, car porteurs des désirs d'évasion et du déferlement des pulsions. L'absence de sa fiancée, Camille, ne contribue pas à aider ce commissaire, au moment où, dans la capitale, une énigme semble annoncer de grands malheurs… D'étranges signes apparaissent sur les portes de Paris. Des mots mystérieux, inquiétants, sont criés comme une malédiction sur la place Igor-Stravinsky… La découverte d'un mort, redoutée par Adamsberg — un premier corps noirci, première victime de la peste — annonce le retour du terrible fléau… Il semble pourtant que quelqu'un contrôle l'épidémie et en désigne les cibles.
