Synopsis

In post-World War II French Equatorial Africa, a man named Morel launches a one-man crusade to protect the region's dwindling elephant population. He views the animals as a symbol of freedom in a world increasingly dominated by human cruelty and political indifference. His fanatical campaign forces colonial officials, hunters, and local inhabitants to confront their own values and the cost of their actions.
