What happens when Elsa (the elephant) misses home and decides to go back to Tanzania to meet with her loving family? Does the boy leave the circus and follow her to Tanzania in the pursuit of honouring his true friendship with the elephant.
A choice needs to made by the boy, his livelihood in the circus or his insurmountable affection for Elsa, the beautiful elephant.
