Two brothers travel across a country devastated by war with a delicate bundle on their backs. One night they arrive at a town in ruins that houses a secret: a small zoo that has not been bombarded. The ten animals that inhabit it need water, food and, like brothers, a little hope.
Twelve-year-old Mónica has just moved. Days after the move she meets Eli when both are spying on a house that looks abandoned. From that moment on, they become inseparable. While they try to unveil the secrets of the house and the woman who lives there, they discover the intensity and the ups and downs of unconditional friendship.
