A male giraffe dies after a nocturnal air raid in a Palestinian zoo. The female giraffe stops eating. A boy and his father, the veterinarian of the zoo, look for a solution.

The only zoo in the Palestinian territories is situated in Qalqilya, a city completely surrounded by the Israeli West Bank barrier. Narrated by the veterinarian and taxidermist Dr. Sami Khader, the documentary paints a vivid portrait of the precarious situation of the zoo and life in the West Bank.

Travelling around the Israeli West Bank barrier, Menno discovers this wall made life for the Palestinian people a lot worse while the lives of Israelis and Jewish colonists improved.
