Description:

LIFE OF PI meets Borges and Miyazaki in a magical adventure set in China in early 20th century. With the passing of the Empress Dowager, the animals in her zoo are about to be auctioned off, if they don’t starve first. An American missionary shows up with a crazy idea: bringing the animals to the inner Mongolia grasslands to build a new home for them. And so this strange and motley crew embarks on an adventure of a lifetime.
