Synopsis

Kéria (11), a vivid indigenous girl, finds an orphaned baby orang-outan, Oshi in the jungle of Borneo. To keep him safe she brings him to a close-by reserve. But her ambitious father, working as a woodsman, cooperates with a poacher in order to steal the baby.

Our take

The second feature from Claude Barras (My Life as a Courgette) takes to the beautiful island of Borneo, where adolescent blues sprout among wild ferns. A celebration of Indigenous resilience in the face of ecocide, this stop-motion marvel dreams of a harmonious future between humans and the Earth.
