SUMMARY

Yacine (Saleh Bakri) is a veterinarian in Palestine’s only remaining zoo. His young son Ziad has a strong bond with the zoo’s two giraffes. One night, after an air raid, the male giraffe dies. The female giraffe can’t survive alone. Yacine must absolutely find a new companion for the beast, but the only zoo that can help him is in Tel Aviv.

When a nearby attack leads to tragedy inside the zoo, Yacine has to promise Ziad a miracle that he’s not sure he can deliver. An inspirational drama loosely based on a true story.
