Jerusalem’s Biblical Zoo attracts hundreds of thousands of Israelis and Palestinians, religious and secular. The story unfolds through Shalom the rhinoceros and his keepers: Roshdi Alian, a Palestinian-Israeli Muslim, and Gilad Moshe, an Israeli Jew. A dispute over Shalom’s euthanasia exposes the differences between them, while the war that breaks out in Gaza after October 7 sharpens the fundamental questions: What is captivity? What is freedom? And why is the only option to live together in peace?
