一部真正的独立电影贯穿始终，Elephants以“生活片段”的风格真实地看待现代关系，剥离亲密的层次，提出一个问题：你怎么知道什么时候有人适合你，或者更确切地说，什么时候适合你 继续前进？ 在监狱度过了三年之后，迷人但头脑发热的Lee Riley回到洛杉矶，赢回了他留下的女友，诱人而又任性的Kate Caldwell。 尽管已经成长为一名独立女性，凯特同意让他留下来寻找公寓，很快，这对夫妇又回到原来的模式中，再次陷入热烈的关系中。 然而，随着他们浪漫的自由奔放的性质开始打倒凯特所建立的生活，她发现自己失去了她的新身份但却无法让李走了。 同样，Lee开始怀疑他们过去的活力是否会阻止他成长并成为更多的东西。

  A true indie film through and through, Elephants takes an authentic look at a modern relationship in a "slice of life" style, peeling away intimate layers to ask the question: how do you know when someone's right for you or rather, when it's time to move on? After a three year stint in prison, the charming but hot-headed Lee Riley returns to Los Angeles to win back the girlfriend he left behind, alluring and headstrong Kate Caldwell. Despite having moved on and grown into an independent woman, Kate agrees to let him stay while he looks for an apartment and soon enough, the pair falls back into their old patterns, losing themselves in an ardent relationship once more. Yet, as the free-spirited nature of their romance starts to tear down the life Kate has built, she finds herself losing her new identity but unable to let Lee go. Likewise, Lee starts to wonder if the buoyant memories from their past are preventing him from growing up and becoming something more.
