This is a short film that will strike a cord with all of us . The protagonist Manuel isn't the Spanish waiter from FAWLTY TOWERS but his life is no less miserable . He was been stuck in the same dull job for 25 years with no hope for promotion . His home life is no better with his son and daughter being surly strangers and his wife doesn't understand him . We can all relate to this but things go from bad to worse for Manuel when his doctor gives him the bad news that he's turning in to an elephant . On second thoughts maybe ELEFANTE isn't all that easy to relate to
In some ways this short film reminded me of that Daft Punk video with the human dog walking around playing a ghetto blaster . This type of scenario has an instant charm and ELEFANTE is a charming little short film . On the downside it's a little bit too obvious in what it's trying to say - that if you've got the love of your family then nothing else really matters but makes this theory a little bit too blatantly for my liking
