French filmmaker Nicolas Philibert directs this documentary about Nenette, a 40-year-old orangutan kept at the Jardins des plantes zoo in Paris.
A star attraction at the zoo, Nenette nevertheless pays little attention to the hordes of visitors who flock to look at her.
A mother of four who has outlived three mates, Nenette has lived at the zoo for over thirty years. The film shows her going about her daily routines behind glass, revealing her visitors only by their voices and as shadowy reflections in the glass.
