A mockumentary that investigates the possibility of a man turning into a monkey.
The Life of a Sober Man is mockumentary about a man that mysteriously disappears and the authorities discover a monkey in the exact spot where the man was supposed to be. His family, friends and social circle strongly believe that the monkey is the missing man.
