A tender, whimsical road trip about rediscovering a lost bond with an elephant, suffused with nostalgia and the warmth of reconnection.

On a chance encounter, a disenchanted architect bumps into his long-lost elephant on the streets of Bangkok. Excited, he takes his elephant on a journey across Thailand in search of the farm where they grew up together.
