Water for Elephants

Friday, 13th May 2011 Written by: FrancyFree

Based on the best selling novel, Water for Elephants tells the tale of an aspiring veterinary doctor whose dreams are shattered when he learns of his parents’ death.

With no home or family, he jumps onto a passing train to escape his misery. It is this very move that triggers the beginning of his new life as part of the Benzini Brothers circus.

Jacob Jankowski, played by Robert Pattinson, works as the circus vet and is then given the task of caring for the star act. This brings him and star attraction Marlena (Reese Witherspoon) close together.

It is a beautiful love story with unexpected and sinister twists and turns throughout.
