elephant is a short film about Nicole, a woman in her late 30s who appears to have it all; a caring husband, two children and a good job. But Nicole is suffering from a crippling depression that, due to the stigma attached to mental illness, she is trying to keep secret. Set over 24 hours, elephant shows how a series of otherwise minor events, coupled with Nicole's dissociation from family and friends, lead her to a state of utter desperation.
