Animal salvatge

Synopsis

Three-year-old Janira doesn’t speak like the other kids. The adults are worried about Janira’s language development, but she is reluctant to take the steps to catch up. She is happiest when surrounded by animals: she talks to them in her own special way and seems to prefer living in their world to interacting with humans. Growing up, though, is unavoidable, and she will soon have to decide between staying wild or adapting to society.
