Description

Jonah Ludovic (Sam Neill) is the last zookeeper in an Eastern European city ravished by civil war. He lives in self-imposed penance from a dark deed in his past. In a place where the streets are owned by snipers, and guns in the hills rain shells into the city. People flee with what belongings they can carry. Ludovic keeps the zoo barely functional with the assistance of a vet (Om Puri). Their purpose: keep the animals alive until promised UN help arrives.

During a lull in the fighting a wounded ten year boy arrives at Ludovic’s doorstep. Ludovic reluctantly nurses Zioig back to health. Zioig departs as soon as he is able, only to return with Ankica (Gina McKee), his mother. Ludovic must also contend with Dragov (Ulrich Thomsen), a sociopathic captain of a platoon of murderous nationalists searching for Zioig and Ankica. As the war intensifies, the animals are on the brink of starvation. Ludovic, Zioig and Ankica struggle to keep the animals alive. They discover each other, their secrets, and eventually forgiveness and love.
