The story

Respected anthropologist James Krippendorf and his wife, Jennifer, bring their three children Shelly, Mickey & Edmund along during their much-enjoyed search in New Guinea for a lost tribe. The search fails, despite the family's best efforts. After Jennifer's death back in the U.S., Krippendorf falls into academic stagnation, having spent all his foundation grant money raising the children as a single parent.
