One of the best animation films of the year, «Zarafa» takes us all the way to Africa where a wise old man is telling the village kids the story of Maki.
Maki is a little boy who escapes the clutches of slave traders and becomes best friends with Zarafa the giraffe. But when Zarafa is captured and presented to the king of France as a gift, Maki dedicates his life to rescuing his friend and hops on a hot air balloon to Paris in order to track him down.
