For two years, Thierry Ragobert and his team filmed the fantastic landscape of the Amazonian rainforest with rare and partly endangered animals. Ragobert then assembled the documentary 3D footage into a story about Saï, a little capuchin monkey, who grows up in captivity. After a plane crash, he suddenly finds itself alone in the vastness of the Amazon rainforest and realizes that it has only one chance to survive. It must find other capuchin monkeys and join them. The film is an ode to the beauty and diversity of the Amazon with images as enchanting as they are unique.
