We Bought a Zoo

Many people love animals, but anybody, apparently, doesn't love them more, than members of family of Mi. Benjamin Mi, recently become a widow/widower father of the 14-year-old son and the little daughter, understands that doesn't cope neither with own grief, nor with a grief of the son Dylan at which problems at school because of bad behaviors began. Having decided that their family needs to start everything with a clean slate, Benjamin together with the daughter Rossi looks for the ideal house and understands that any of options doesn't suit them.

When Rossi finds the announcement of sale of the house personifying all their dreams they with Benjamin go to examine the building. Having fallen in love with the future ideal house and having started survey of possession, they learn that everything isn't so simple: the zoo located behind the house which was a few years ago closed is applied to the building. Obeying spontaneous desire, Benjamin buys the house and, having lodged in it together with a family, starts caring of the wild animals living on a backyard.
Benjamin has lost his wife and, in a bid to start his life over, purchases a large house that has a zoo – welcome news for his daughter, but his son is not happy about it. The zoo is in need of renovation and Benjamin sets about the work with the head keeper and the rest of the staff, but, the zoo soon runs into financial trouble.
