After Banquise / Ice Floe, his 2006 short film and in the wake of the worldwide success of Ma vie de Courgette / My Life as a Courgette in 2016, Swiss filmmaker Claude Barras has taken up the subject of deforestation in a very personal ecological fable about an indigenous people who live at the heart of a tropical forest. Barras explains that he was also influenced by the Swiss activist Bruno Manser, who was involved in the defence of the Borneo forest before disappearing suspiciously. While pointing the finger at the destructive actions of the food industry and the excessive exploitation of raw materials, the film also questions, without ever being didactic, the irresistible attraction that we have for modernity.
