In Borneo, near the tropical forest, young Kéria rescues a baby orangutang in the palm oil plantation where her father works. Kéria's cousin Selaï comes to live with them seeking refuge from the conflict between his indigenous tribe and the logging companies. Kéria, Selaï and the little orangutang, now named Oshi, embark on a fight to protect their forest from destruction. But for Kéria, this battle also leads to a deeper revelation about her own origins.
