In the Borneo jungle, loggers and plantation companies are pitted against Indigenous communities and environmental activists. 11-year-old Kéria (Babette De Coster) who has Indigenous Penan heritage on her mother’s side, lives there with her father, who works on a palm oil plantation. She’s passionate about the environment and news that their family home is under threat from deforestation only makes her more so, especially when she meets Oshi, an orphaned orangutan – but their budding friendship is cut short by a visit from Kéria’s cousin Selaï (Martin Verset). When a fight leads Selaï to run away with Oshi, an anxious Kéria must venture deeper into the forest than ever before.

Swiss director Claude Barras’ much-anticipated follow-up to the Oscar-nominated My Life as a Courgette, is another strikingly realised stop-motion animation, this time invoking a magical forest world teeming with Indigenous history and legend, with an uncompromising environmental and anti-colonialist message.
