- Synopsis:
- Bittersweet true story of a young boy who goes to Thailand to become Japan's first elephant trainer. Although a bit simplistic and predictable in execution, the film is enlivened considerably by strong performances from actors Yuya Yagira and Takako Tokiwa. The elephants are pretty entertaining as well. A fine debut for director Shunsaku Kawage.
