In Borneo, Kéria takes in a baby orangutan found on a palm oil plantation. At the same time, her cousin Selaï comes to stay with them to escape the conflict between his nomadic family and the logging companies. The ancestral forest is under threat more than ever. Together, Kéria, Selaï, and the baby monkey named Oshi will brave every obstacle to fight against the planned destruction.
With Sauvages, I want to address a world that is changing very fast, generations that come and go, “traditions” that are disappearing. I’m interested in how, despite all this, we can pass down values and a sense of where we’re headed.
