Claude Barras is now working on the screenplay of Sauvages ! along with Canadian novelist Nancy Huston and the comic book writer Morgan Navarro. The plot is set in an Indonesian forest threatened by palm oil plantations. Moah, a young orangutan, sees his mother killed by poachers. A vet at a shelter plans to send him to a zoo. But he hasn’t factored in his son, Alex, and Keria, the young native who found Moah in the forest, and who will do everything she can to set him free.
