In the lush forests that line the shores of Lake Maninjao in Indonesia, countless coconut trees thrive. Burhan, the expert in the art of monkey training, takes in Bobo, a newcomer warmly welcomed by his wife, Raïna. Burhan's goal is to educate Bobo in the art of harvesting coconuts.

I want this life.
