Kiwi Neill (Jurassic Park) plays an ex-communist who is now a zookeeper. During the Civil War in the former Czechoslovakia all zookeepers have left because of the war, no pay, or they are dead. One man remains as penance for his actions under communist rule. He tries to keep all the animals in the zoo alive while waiting for the UN to rescue them. While he waits a young boy and his mother show up and he finds family again - his last one was lost to him. I hate movies where the animals die because of the actions of horrid humans & this one is no different; the burning of the ape house broke my heart more than the vet being killed. All in all, I say: SKIP IT poor animals- no one ever thinks of them during war.
