Commentary

This is the story of the big, lonely elephant Gurunpa as he finds his place in the world. Gurunpa keeps trying to help humans with their work, but everything he makes ends up too big. However, in the end, all of the big things he made become playground equipment for a kindergarten which the children enjoy.
