Claude Barras follows My Life As a Courgette with a stop-motion gem about a girl and an orangutan facing up to deforestation in Borneo.
Keria, who has Indigenous Penan heritage on her mother’s side, lives in Borneo with her father, who works on a palm oil plantation. News that the family home is under threat from deforestation only makes her more passionate about her environment, especially when she meets Oshi, an orphaned orangutan with whom she uncovers the joys and dangers of this beautiful but threatened world. Using his distinctive stop-motion style, Barras has produced a memorable and moving tale whose eco-message is seamlessly integrated into this hugely entertaining and highly relevant film.
