Seth Grossman's
psychological drama The Elephant King concerns two brothers who have very different outlooks on life.
Jake Hunt is a scientist working in Thailand who, dissatisfied with much of his life, does little work and lives his life in a state of great excess. He invites his younger brother,
Oliver, to visit. Even though the two have a strained relationship,
Oliver accepts as he has been suffering from a severe depression.
Oliver joins
Jake in nights of excess, and falls in love with a girl whom
Jake is paying to be nice to
Oliver. As the threesome heads toward a tragic conclusion, each brother questions his own motivations for his actions.
The Elephant King had its world premiere at the
2006 Tribeca Film Festival.
