Hors de l'eau

A macaque mother guides us through the rigid hierarchy that shapes her troop’s daily life. Every grooming session, every glance, every movement is dictated by unspoken laws of rank and kinship. She must navigate these complex social codes to protect her infant, secure her family’s standing, and survive the unforgiving winter. Through her watchful eyes, we see the delicate balance of power, the constant negotiation for status, and the fierce loyalty that binds the snow monkeys together in their frozen world.
