Today I watched a short film called Elefante. The film, in essence, seems to be about love and the boundaries in penetrates. In Elefante, a man is diagnosed with a rare disease in which he turns into an elephant. As his transformation becomes more apparent, he begins to be rejected by society and his family. However the youngest of his two children, his (maybe 5ish year old) son continuously loves him and sees him as his father rather than an elephant. I do not want to spoil the film, but the relationship between the protagonist and his son was very sentimental, especially towards the end of the film. Their relationship seems to represent the purity of true love. Technically speaking, the creation of the elephant was generally well done. It looked as if the head piece of the elephant costume was made from latex and it was very convincing. The body of the elephant costume, on the other hand, appeared rushed and unrealistic. It did not compare to the precise detail work put incorporated into the headpiece. Overall, Elephante was a really touching film and I recommend it to every living vessel.
