Young Akiko the monkey lives happily in the zoo and enjoys visiting his animal friends every day. One day, however, his grandfather reveals a surprising secret: the zoo is not the true home of their family. Their real home is a vast forest far beyond the city. When a remote-controlled airplane crashes right in front of them, Akiko embarks on an extraordinary adventure. Determined and brave, he sets out to find his relatives in the forest so they can help free the animals still living in captivity. Along the way, he meets a variety of animal companions who support him in overcoming challenges and pursuing his dream of freedom. Full of humour, action and charming characters, the film is a heartwarming story about friendship, courage, solidarity, and the importance of nature and belonging.
