A visually rich animated adventure about young people and an orphaned orangutan fighting to protect their forest from industrial destruction, balancing environmental urgency with warmth and hope.

In Borneo, near the tropical forest, Kéria rescues a baby orangutang in the palm oil plantation where her father works. Kéria's cousin Selaï comes to live with them seeking refuge from the conflict between his indigenous tribe and the logging companies. Kéria, Selaï and the little orangutang, now named Oshi, will have to fight against their forest’s destruction.
