Synopsis
Ozi is a baby orangutan who lives in the forest with her parents until one night a fire caused by humans separates her from them.
Fortunately, she is rescued by Kirani, an environmental worker who runs a shelter for orphaned primates. Over the years, Ozi learns sign language and, thanks to a translation device, becomes an influencer. One day, she receives a tablet from a company inviting her to visit them, but Kirani denies her, alerted by the company's intentions. However, Ozi secretly opens the device and discovers that the company is housing her parents, who have survived the fire.
Motivated by the desire to reunite with them, Ozi, with the help of Chance, an animal companion, heads to the company's facility, a type of artificial zoo where animals from the destroyed areas have been gathered for palm plantation installations. Upon arrival, Ozi discovers that the company, which produces palm oil, has devastated the forest for its crops.
With the collaboration of Chance and other animals in the area, Ozi tries to free the captives and unveil the truth behind the company's operation. In her struggle, Ozi risks her life and, in an act of bravery, publishes a video exposing the truth about the company, temporarily halting the destruction of more forests and highlighting the exploitation of natural resources.

"Orangutan Ozi is an eco chimpfluencer in a film whose excellent animation is let down by underdeveloped characters and blind faith in social media activism."
