The inspiring true story of Punch, the tiny, orphaned monkey who captured the hearts of millions online.
Punch is a baby macaque, eager to explore the world at the Ichikawa Zoo in Japan. But his mother can't take care of him, so it's up to the zookeepers to look after Punch. They give him a snuggly soft-toy orangutan to hug. He names her "Oran-mama".
When it's time for Punch to join the other macaques on Monkey Mountain, Punch is scared, and the other monkeys aren't ready for him either. Time and again, he runs back to his cuddly toy. But Punch knows a toy isn't the same as a real-life friend. When will Punch finally find someone to hug him back?
Discover the heart warming tale of one brave little monkey who refuses to give up on love.
