The depth of the bond between a person and an animal is something that each of us can only truly understand through personal experience. Similarly, we are gradually realizing that the living beings who share this planet with us possess a powerful force that can lead us toward the truth within ourselves. However, when most people hear the word "pet," they think of cats or dogs. But Gares is not like that. He is an emotionally detached and hyperactive city dweller who gave up his urban life to become a foster parent to a pangolin, naming it Kuru. Kuru was once facing a death threat in Johannesburg but was given a new lease on life after being rescued. In Kuru's company, Gares found a new sense of purpose in life. This director, who previously made the Oscar-winning documentary *My Octopus Teacher*, has once again brought us a deeply moving story about the friendship between humans and animals, reminding us that new beginnings are always possible. Perhaps, this even applies to this planet, deeply wounded by humanity.
