Little Kéria, her cousin Selaï, and a sweet baby orangutan bravely fight against the destruction of Borneo's rainforest. Wonderfully animated.

Kéria lives with her father at the edge of Borneo's rainforest on a palm oil plantation. The dramatic events of this highly relevant puppet film begin when she finds an orphaned baby orangutan. Kéria takes in the sweet animal and names it Oshi. Shortly thereafter, Kéria's cousin Selaï joins them. He belongs to a tribe of rainforest dwellers. His family wants to protect the boy from the increasingly dangerous conflicts with profit-hungry loggers. The ancient forest is more threatened by destruction than ever. Kéria, Selaï, and the baby orangutan Oshi bravely stand up against this.

Swiss animator Claude Barras has a degree in anthropology and digital graphics. His film "My Life as a Zucchini" received an Oscar nomination and won two Césars, the most important French film award. "Savages" is the animation film of the hour.
