So the neighbors, including the eldest daughter who is in a rebellious period, don't understand...
His mother asked him to attend a veterans' party to make him face it calmly and cheer him up.
However, she did not understand and could not understand George's inner torment.
Soon after, George stumbled upon several animals that were about to be disposed of while stocking up at the docks, and his innocent eyes touched him deeply.
He didn't hesitate and decided to save the animals, bringing home an Australian parrot and a Colombian monkey.
Although this act was opposed by the family, it was strongly supported by the youngest daughter, Joan.
The arrival of the animals brought George unexpected comfort and joy.
He began to dream of building a zoo of his own, a place where these world-forsaken lives could find refuge.

The financial pressure of the family, the criticism of the neighbors, and the lack of funds all make this dream seem unattainable...
Just when George was about to give up, fate led him to meet Lady Catlin, a noblewoman who also loved animals.
Impressed by George's enthusiasm and persistence, Katrin decides to fund him.
