The biography of the female elephant Bibi, who is considered to display abnormal behaviour, is marked by misfortunes. On the basis of an empathic reappraisal of these traumatic events the film reflects on the significance of social issues and how to deal with exclusion today: a therapy by proxy on film that will hopefully have a long-distance healing effect on Bibi.
