Synopsis
Every day for 30 years, Miki has been following the same routine: he gets up at dawn, runs un and down his zoo with a wheelbarrow full of seeds or meat to feed his birds, welcomes and accompanies the few daily visitors, falls asleep at nightfall in front of animal documentaries on National Geographic. Two recent events have brought him down: the theft of his black cockatoos by the local mafia, and Covid-19, from which he has never completely recovered and has convinced him to write his will.
The doors of his zoo always remain open. Every day, many people come for a coffee or a glass of liquor. They say they come to bring apples or to prune a tree. In fact, they come to chat about their daily life, to share memories often dented by violence and exile.
The wars and miseries of the world continue to bring groups of young people past the gates of Miki Zoo, trying to cross the border to Hungary. Afghans, Iranians, Egyptians, Russians or Ukrainians, they are sometimes invited by Miki to put down their bundles for a moment. They too tell him about the world that revolves outside the zoo.
