Mr. Bones 3: Son of Bones

Sixty years ago, in an obscure corner of Africa, the only survivor of a light aircraft crash was a baby boy.

Hence his name, “Bones.” Today, at an advanced age but still fit in mind and body, his mission is to pass on his wisdom to his son, Mathambo, and guide him into manhood – a mission doomed to fail because of both of their obsessive personalities.
