At the same time, Selaï, her young cousin, seeks refuge in their home to escape the conflict between his nomadic family and the logging companies. Together, Keria, Selaï and the baby monkey will fight against the destruction of the ancient forest, now more endangered than ever.

On stage, "Je suis trop vert", text and staging by David Lescot: In recent years, author and director David Lescot has been exploring the world of childhood around a character, Moi, who is learning about life. When he reaches sixth grade, he's sent to join a rural school. Total panic Getting up at dawn, exhausting tasks, a brutal relationship with nature, not to mention Valerie, the farm girl, unwilling to help him adjust. But despite the challenges, the discovery of the rural world becomes a soul-searching moment for our hero who starts to take a critical look at his previous life in the city. In a playful scenography, conceived as a games machine, and carried by three actresses who play all the roles, this coming-of-age tale questions as much as it amuses.
