The sea, the forest, and the weather are all out of sync. While people argue, hesitate, and postpone, the animals have had enough.
The ostrich resolutely pokes its head out of the sand. The chameleon reveals its true colors. And the ant is ready to tackle the impossible. Their decision is clear: They need a zoo assembly – an animal parliament in the circus tent!
Fluttering through the air, plowing through the oceans, burrowing through the earth, animals travel from all directions.
Wait a minute – how on earth does an elephant fit into a tent?
More space for the peacock!
Wasn't there a worm just a moment ago?
Move closer together! No, not like that – where on earth is the dog?
And who's going to lift the whale into the aquarium now, please?!
As birds swoop down to deliver the latest horrific news, unease grows. Time is running out. Action must be taken – and it must be done together!

Have you ever lost a loved one and been taken in by your friends – and stuck with this family through thick and thin?
Solidarity. And fish for everyone! That's what Z. thinks. But every gang, including Z.'s, has to pass a test of courage. Swallowing fire. Stealing chickens. Stop! Careful, only take from the rich and give to the poor. That's what Z. and her gang think.
To raise money, they perform at the circus in the harbor – also to finally find B's father, the best violinist in the world. Fish fly through the air, a tent becomes the vast ocean, the gang dances, cackles, and sticks together, come what may. But some other characters don't want the children hanging around here. Then there are the clashes with the large fishing company –
But listen for yourselves. This is what our gang sounds like.
