Benjamin Mee, the father in the true story, said: "The zoo itself is also a tremendous place for healing. It connects you to the circle of life.". With the reconstruction and reopening of the zoo, he completed this painful psychological treatment.
The film is adapted from a true story. The original zoo is Dartmoor Zoo in Plymouth, southwestern England. The movie moved the scene to California, with the beautiful female principal, Scarlett Johansson, a group of weird staff, and the principal’s angelic niece Elle Fanning (Oh my God, Fanning’s smile is shining in the sun, and it can melt people in an instant) .
This touching love story in which the heroine is absent. The memories of every scene of the heroine gradually restore the appearance of the heroine. In the last scene of the movie, he takes his sons and daughters back to the coffee shop where he and his wife met and reenacts how their parents met. "This is where you two became a possibility".

“You know, sometimes all you need is 20 seconds of insane courage. Just literally 20 seconds of just embarrassing bravery. And I promise you, something great will come of it. ”——Benjamin Mee
