Nénette

Movie · Documentary

Born in the jungles of Borneo forty years ago, Nenette the orangutan is now the most senior inhabitant of the worlds oldest zoo and the star of this awe-inspiring, tender and funny film, from the director who charmed the world in 2002 with the BAFTA nominated ETRE ET AVOIR. What we see is Nenette, going about her daily business; what we hear are the voices of the many visitors who pass comment on her every day, and reveal more about themselves than they think.
