This story of a Tamil couple fostering (successfully) orphaned elephants is worth 40 minutes of your time. Fostering has a high failure rate and by failure read death. This couple obviously love each other and love what they do and there is one particularly sad moment when a decision is taken out of their hands that shows you how much love they have for these creatures. Beautifully shot, the camera never intrudes and you can see the bond between humans and animals and you get to see the playful side of these amazing creatures. A worthy Oscar winner and you cannot help but feel some admiration for this lovely couple. I wish the film had been longer.
