Synopsis
Aging zookeeper mentors two new trainees in heartwarming TV special about zoo life and human-animal bonds.
Aging zoo keeper Toshio Nishiyama takes on two new trainees at the animal park: former chef Takeshi Ishizawa and veterinarian Ichiro Hasegawa. As they settle into their roles caring for the zoo's diverse inhabitants, they discover that working with animals presents unique challenges and rewards. Through their daily experiences with creatures great and small, the trainees learn valuable lessons about dedication, compassion, and the special bond between humans and animals. This heartwarming TV special draws from real-life experiences at Tobu Animal Park, offering glimpses into the joys and trials of zoo life.
Aging zoo keeper Toshio Nishiyama acquires two young trainees: short-tempered former chef Takeshi Ishizawa and gentle vet Ichiro Hasegawa. Both are surprised by the difficulties they face in a deceptively easy job but persevere through troubles such as an escaped pelican, a dying camel, and the birth of a hippo. A semi-autobiographical TV special of anecdotes from real-life Tobu Animal Park zookeeper Toshio Nishiyama, who appears at the beginning and end of the film to talk about his love for animals-and to reveal that Ishizawa is in fact a projection of his younger self.
