From the Director of King of Hearts. Starring Claude Rich, French film star who has appeared in the films of Jean Renoir, Francois Truffaut, Rene Clair, Alain Resnais, Claude Miller and Bertrand Tavernier.

In the waning days of World War II, a crusty Parisian zoo director weaves a fantastic tale to protect his granddaughter from the horrors of war. Like his classic film King of Hearts, director Philippe De Broca creates a visually stunning fairy tale that tugs at the heart as well as the mind.
