Synopsis

In a village where no one has ever seen an elephant, a large, mysterious creature appears in the square. The villagers, puzzled by its presence, attempt to identify it, suggesting it's a train, a fire engine, or even a vacuum cleaner. Despite their efforts, only young Eric, known for his tall tales, recognises the truth. With his persistence, the villagers finally listen, and the elephant finds its place in the community.
