Synopsis

Julián is excited to learn that a mini-zoo is going to open in his city. He awaits for the grand opening, but it turns out that they weren’t talking about a small zoo, but a Japanese department store. Both bored and angry, Julián decides to build his own mini-zoo on an abandoned lot in his neighborhood, so he begins to hunt, buy, and gather the small mammals he likes the most. A neighbor opposes the project, since she lives next door, and convinces the authorities that it will be an amusement park. In the end, Julián frees the few animals he had gathered because, in the end, he realizes that zoos should no longer exist.

A story about childhood projects and the possibilities of childhood and adult imagination.
