In a wood near the Catalan village of Argelaguer, an eccentric recluse has spent 45 years building the most amazing, labyrinthine, dreamlike structures. He creates tree houses, mazes and waterfalls - all with his bare hands. It looks like the set for a jungle adventure film. Garrell has just one aim, to "keep busy". Everyone is welcome in his jungle - the woods do not belong just to him. The eccentric but loveable Garrell also calls himself "the Tarzan of Argelaguer". One day, a local teenager who sometimes came to play brought a video camera along; for years, he and Garrell filmed scenes as if acting in a Tarzan film, including wicked intruders with modern machines that drive the King from his Jungle.
