The Weight of Elephants is a simple movie with a simple
story. It’s a story of a child, his friendship and loneliness he feels since he
was abandoned at an early age.
The story is about Adrian who lives with his grandmother and
uncle who later befriends the three children in the next door. The elder girl
in the house acts more matured even if she is small. She has to take up the
responsibility of the house due to her ailing mother. Both of them spend some
time together and decide to take an adventure to find the abducted children
they keep talking about in the television. Nothing much happens in the movie
and has a smooth pace till the end. No one comes and no one goes but creates an
emotional touch on audience’s mind.
The movie portrays the mental growth of a small child and
shows how a lonely life affects a child’s growth and behaviour. The unseen excellence of music that reached its
zenith in the end made the climax really astounding. The apt selection of
setting and background went along with the mood of the film.
The movie was worth a few hours of my time.
