The giraffes absolutely steal the show here, as they should. The story of their journey across the US is incredibly dramatic (I love that although the truth is probably far more mundane, it is a fictionalised version of something that actually happened). But it's just so wholesome, especially whenever one of the core characters has a moment with the giraffes that brings a complete sense of peace.
