In 1955 Charlie Franks and his wife Madeline adopted Sunita, a beautiful Indian elephant of only five years. Unlike what usually happens, Sunita was treated as a child, with care and never abused. Living in close contact with the man, the animal learned to do some tricks with whom they made their living at trade shows or TV shows. When the couple began to age, he realized that the animal deserved a better home and donated it to the Wild Animal Park in San Diego. After about 15 years, the 80 year old man goes to visit her, and discovers that virtually nothing has changed.
