THE BOY AND THE ELEPHANT
LE GARÇON ET L'ÉLÉPHANT
France | 2022 | 7 min
Recommended age 6+
In the classroom, a new student appears who is different from the others, an elephant among children, the only one who is colorful in a black-and-white world. His arrival triggers mockery and sarcasm, but there is a fellow student who is fascinated and disturbed by this strangeness. The two come into contact, with the small gestures of a friendship being born, and magically the child also gains color. Thus begins a moment of union and happiness for the two protagonists, far from judgment and shame. (c.d.)
Ticket available at the box office of the Prato Cinema Terminal.
