The key aim of every ZOO is to protect animal species from extinction. In times of war, the most endangered species was the man. Under the Nazis' noses, about 300 people, mainly Jews, found shelter at the Warsaw Zoo during the Second World War. With the help of reenacted scenes with animals, interviews with the survivors, and archive footage, we are going to revive the surreal atmosphere of those events.

Amidst the devastation of occupied Warsaw, a bustling zoo becomes an improbable sanctuary for those hunted by the Nazi regime. This intimate portrait uses quiet moments with wildlife to illuminate the extraordinary courage required to hide human lives behind animal enclosures.
