The Rome Zoo: It has witnessed – and reflected in its tarnished mirror – the great follies of the twentieth century. Drifting between past and present, The Rome Zoo weaves together the story of the zoo and of two lovers, forming a colourful and evocative tapestry of life at this strange place. It is both a love story and a poignant juxtaposition of the human need to classify, to subdue, with the untameable nature of our dramas and anxieties.
