Savages

In the shadow of Borneo’s vanishing rainforest, Kéria, a young woman who helps her father in a palm oil plantation, stumbles upon and rescues a frightened baby orangutan. When her cousin Selaï arrives seeking refuge from escalating clashes between his indigenous community and the logging companies tearing through their land, the three form an unlikely family. The infant, named Oshi, becomes both a tender responsibility and a living symbol of the forest they are trying to save.

As tensions rise, Kéria and Selaï are drawn into a desperate fight to protect their home from corporate greed and violent clearing. The film charts their courage and cunning, blending intimate moments of care and grief with tense confrontations and quiet acts of resistance. At once a character-driven drama and an urgent environmental tale, Savages explores how identity, kinship, and hope endure even as the trees fall around them.
