Like the boy and his beast friendship in THE BLACK STALLION, ELE, MY FRIEND is the delightful story of a young boy, Charles, who befriends a wild elephant and ends up learning the true meaning of friendship and parental relationship. Set on a lush tea plantation in Southern India, which is Charles’ parental home, the ten-year-old boy sneaks off to a favorite water hole where he discovers a family of elephants. Among them, he finds a baby elephant, Ele, whom he befriends, and they spend many happy hours together. When his mother decides to send him to boarding school in England to become a “gentleman,” Charles goes to say goodbye to Ele only to find that some evil men have captured him. Charles proves friendship as he pursues and saves Ele.

Through Ele, Charles learns friendship’s real meaning and also how to relate to his parents in a loving way. ELE, MY FRIEND is a rare, gentle movie that will satisfy the viewer.
