The Secret Life of the African Elephant is Clem Martini’s lovely ode to the relationship between Glen and his elephant that helps spawn a relationship with Florence. She’s the neighbor (Barbara Gates-Wilson) who chases down zoo elephant trainer Glen (David LeReaney) in his lair, so to speak, one day to confess to accidentally driving through their mutually adjoining fence and flattening the shed in Glen’s backyard.Īnd Florence is pretty upfront about it – she has even brought along a whack of cash for Glenn to hold onto as a deposit on the repairs, as a way of buying his silence from reporting her mishap to the proper authorities.Īll of this unfolds in one of the more improbable settings you’re ever likely to see two lonely middle-aged people meet cute in: the elephant cage at the zoo, where Glen tends lovingly to a group of elephants, including Mkuki, who, we learn, has been depressed ever since the zoo traded away her baby for some birds and other lesser species, in an effort to diversify the collection.
