Synopsis:
No One Ever Looked at Elephants as You Do is a lyrical and visually rich animated poem, exploring the transformation of motherhood into a pure, primal state of being. Food morphs into soil, toys into living creatures, and the body into a garden. The film is a hymn to the inexplicable force of the organic bond between mother and infant.
