Sauvages

Claude Barras  ·  Switzerland / France / Belgium  ·  2024

On Borneo, a young girl adopts an orphaned baby orangutan and runs into the forest to help her Penan cousin fight the palm-oil loggers closing in on his village. Claude Barras (My Life as a Courgette) crafts a stop-motion ecological fable with handmade tenderness and real teeth.
