Elephant

In the old fables, animals acted like humans. In the fabulous short film Elefante, a man becomes an animal, but it’s the people around him that behave like beasts.

Manuel is stuck in a dead-end office job. He only has one friend, who he despises. And he’s a stranger to his own family. He needs a change. But when he goes to the doctor with a mild headache, he gets more than he bargained for. “Like in The Elephant Man“, he asks the doctor, hesitantly. No such luck: he’s actually becoming an elephant.
