Planet of the Apes

Ulysse Mérou and Nova are astonished to discover that their child, Sirius, begins to walk and talk at just three months old. This unusual development signifies a leap in evolution that changes their perspective on parenting and the future.

Motivated by Sirius’s remarkable abilities, Ulysse and Nova devise an audacious plan. They decide to pose as human test subjects in a scientific experiment related to space travel, showcasing their determination to protect their child’s exceptional future.

Employing their unique looks to blend in, Ulysse and Nova manage to infiltrate a spacecraft. Their cunning plan involves taking control of the spacecraft's systems, marking the first step of their bold escape from their current existence.

With remarkable skill, Ulysse piloted the spacecraft back towards Earth. As they soared through space, they were overwhelmed with hope while gazing upon breathtaking sights, including the City of Light.

As they fly closer to Earth, the iconic Eiffel Tower and Orly Airport come into view. This sight stirs memories of home for Ulysse and Nova, filling them with nostalgic emotions about their past life.

In a dramatic turn, Ulysse and Nova’s joyous return is cut short by an unexpected obstacle. They come face-to-face with a field officer in a jeep, who is shockingly revealed to be a gorilla, a symbolism of the chaos that surrounds them.

The revelation of the gorilla forces Ulysse and Nova to reassess their escape strategy. Overwhelmed by mixed emotions, they decide to abandon their daring plan and leave their hopes for a future behind.

In a poignant moment, Ulysse takes time to reflect on their incredible journey. He pens down their story and seals it within a bottle, symbolically casting it into the void of space, as if reaching for an audience yet unknown.

Meanwhile, a subplot unfolds featuring Jinn and Phyllis, a couple of chimpanzees. They engage in a spirited discussion about Ulysse's extraordinary narrative, struggling to comprehend the existence of intelligent beings like humans.

As Jinn and Phyllis debate Ulysse’s adventures, they find it difficult to believe in the tales of human civilization. Their skepticism highlights the stark contrasts in perceptions of intelligence and evolution in their world.

Amidst the chaos of their escape and reflection, the future of Sirius remains uncertain. Ulysse and Nova's experiences and the challenges they face will play a crucial role in determining the next steps for their rapidly evolving child.

Both Ulysse and Nova must seek new ways to understand their unique situation as parents of a precocious child. They aim to ensure Sirius has the opportunities to thrive despite the adversities they encounter.

Despite the challenges ahead, Ulysse holds onto hope for a better future. He reflects on the lessons learned from their journey while contemplating what it means to be a parent in a world filled with uncertainty.

As Ulysse releases his story into space, he imagines the possibilities of who might find it. This act represents a desire for connection with others as he navigates his family's unique legacy.
