Description

In a tropical rain forest, an orange, baby monkey (Pikolino) is orphaned by a relentless Jaguar (Sharp Claw). All alone, Pikolino suffers fear, hunger, rejection and acrophobia, crippling his ability to care for himself or even climb. But help is on the way.

An angelic Praying Mantis (Portia) along with a raucous and amusing Rastafarian Cockatoo (Cockymon) are sent to accompany and instruct him on a transformative and transcendent adventure. Pikolino's experience beneath a dense and gloomy jungle (reflective of his state of mind) has made light unusually attractive. When some sunflowers introduce him to a sun beam, an exhilarating and convoluted journey to the canopy of the rain forest lead him to discover and fall in love with the Sun. The Sun (a metaphor for the divine) then shares secrets which empower Pikolino to not only discover and master his own abilities and potential, but lead him to mysterious and amazing revelations of much, much more.
