Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Torill Kove (THE DANISH POET) narrates her family's journey as they swap their safe and predictable life in Norway with the fresh unknowns of vibrant 1970s Nairobi.

This animated short wraps rich nostalgia around memories of eventful family trips, timeless teen antics and those inevitable moments of adolescent epiphany. Bursting with wit, a joyful colour palette and an energetic soundscape, MAYBE ELEPHANTS is a vivid homage to Kove’s time spent immersed in Nairobi’s bustling culture.
