The Weight of Elephants

1h 27m • Drama • 2013

Adrian has never felt like he belonged anywhere. His mother abandoned him to the care of his grandmother early on, and he has lived there, largely unwanted, ever since. His uncle Rory lives there too, withdrawn from the world, painting. A case of head lice leads to his hair being shaved off which means further ridicule at school. When a trio of kids moves in next door, he makes a tentative attempt at befriending them, and as their friendship deepens, Adrian becomes more and more certain he knows the secret these kids are harbouring.
