Sauvages (ENG SUBS)
In Sauvages we meet Kéria and her cousin Selaï. Kéria lives with her dad in the city at the edge of the jungle, when her cousin temporarily moves in to live with them. When Kéria finds baby orangoetan Oshi, she and Selaï want to take care of the monkey until it can return to the jungle. They find out that loggers threaten the jungle, so they need to change their plan and save the woods from the planned destruction. Through it all, Kéria learns more about the jungle and her own heritage.
Sauvages is a beautiful animated film, both heartbreaking and exciting, that takes place in the jungle of Borneo. The film is by the makers of Ma vie de courgette (2016) and made in the same, unique stop-motion style. Director Claude Barras again shows he can cleverly bring attention to important themes.
