Callum Cutter (Jonnie Hurn), fastidious 30something Head of his own failing Advertising company who
burdens his employees with his increasingly erratic ways, struggles to find meaning in the soulless
world he is shackled as he faces the challenge of selling the unsellable product.
His only solace is his bi-weekly Tai Chi Class and the coffee & cigarettes he is addicted to. His
life needs to change and it does so in the shape of Malika (Julie Dray) a stunning, free-spirited
French woman unbound by the conventions or responsibilities of the world who enchantingly appears
without warning and immediately starts to question everything he believes in and relies upon.
through her unique blend of psychology and seduction she persuades him to abandon his make-or-break
advertising campaign for a few soul-searching days roughing it in a forest in her native France.
Whilst his employees, lead by the boisterous Marrlen (Marc Warren) and the slovenly Jode (John Last),
mutiny at his company. They try to convince Sark (Grace Vallorani), Advertising company co-owner, that
he is a lost cause. The normally immaculate Callum is subjected to a series of increasingly demoralising
trials that tease his mind and taunt his perception of the world, culminating in an intense moment of
catharsis at the ominously named "Lake of No Return" revealing to Callum not only the hidden meaning to
his unfulfilled life but also the perfect way to sell the unsellable product.
"Do Elephants Pray?" is an ethereal drama that baits the spirit and demands answers to questions that
may or may not exist.
