Summary: The Zoo tells the story of a polar bear who lives in a popular city zoo and a Chinese boy who visits him until they're both in their twilight years. Acclaimed filmmaker Julia Kwan adeptly makes a poignant statement about gentrification, abandonment of the elderly and leaves us with the notion that perhaps home can be found within. .
