Zoo

One man named George Hall opened a real zoo in Belfast, the capital of Northern Ireland. This is a beautiful place, where all the animals were always treated with care, there were predators like lions, hyenas, bears, and more peaceful animals like giraffes or elephants. Buster the elephant is the favorite of the Hall family, especially the boy Tom. But in those years Great Britain, like the whole planet, was shaken by the Second World War - and George sailed to fight. In his absence, a lot has changed - there was even an order to kill all dangerous animals, which was done... To protect Buster, Tom decides to hide him with a woman he knows along with his friends. This is the only chance for the baby elephant to be saved. Read more The project was directed by Colin McIvor, who previously worked only on little-known works.
