当死亡毫无预警地悄悄来到村里，带走身边一直倚靠的人，木讷的鳏夫和胆小的少年顿时成了失魂的浮萍。鳏夫依旧出海，但乐趣全失，最后在一名妓女身上找到性的安慰；少年依旧以机车为伴，梦想中彩券改变人生，但在他发大财之前，却和好友的姐妹陷入混沌不明的关系中。
马来西亚新锐导演胡明进大胆地以大象和海洋为意象，积极地以诗意的语言探索马来西亚面对经济急遽变化的社会百态，新颖的拍摄手法，让人对马来西亚的电影充满好奇与期待。
The Elephant and the Sea follows the lives of two individuals in the aftermath of a water borne disease that strikes their fishing village. Has there been a disaster? A deadly epidemic? A week after the disease takes the life of his wife, Ah Ngau, a fisherman by trade, is sent home with $300 in aid from the government and a cardboard box of useless “donations” from the public. Instead of grieving for his wife, Ah Ngau appears to have found a new sense of freedom, meeting a prostitute and experiencing a long delayed sexual awakening. Yun Ding makes a living doing an assortment of odd jobs, following his big brother, Long Chai around. Mostly they cheat and hustle their way around, living off the naiveté of the public. When Long Chai succumbs to the disease, Ding has to make it on his own. But can a person with no direction in his life find something to hold on to?
