Then a human, or “echoes” as Noa addresses them, enters the picture in the character of Mae , who’s always on guard and so hungry that she tracks the chimp’s every move.

Noa manages to escape the carnage, but at the expense of his own father, clan leader Koro . With his sheltered home now razed to the ground, our protagonist journeys into the wild, into the unfamiliar. Later on, he chances upon the well-read Raka , the last orangutan faithfully adhering to Caesar’s gospels, and learns about the real values the late ape fought for. Raka, in a touching scene, even passes Noa a treasured pendant to remind him of such teachings.
