Summary The Elephant On The Bike is a coming-of-age drama about a man whose childhood has been overcast in painful memories due to his disability. It's a candid story about one man's internal struggles as he makes the transition from adolescence to adulthood, carrying the psychological wound caused by his physical deformity, plus the impact of his disability on his family. Despite the constant social and family conflicts that dampen his already disheartened soul, a glimmer of hope arises as he discovers the ultimate joy of life - loving someone and being loved. In his feature-length debut, Kwon conveys the message that not all physically challenged protagonists end up miraculously overcoming their hardships. A poignant tearjerker minus the superficial themes, The Elephant On The Bike offers realism throughout its heartwarming tale. Life has not been an easy ride for Dong Kyu (Yang Jin Woo) simply because he is missing one hand. Always the target of mockery by his schoolmates, Dong Kyu hated going to school. He couldn't even ride his favorite blue bicycle, which his father made for him. His only consolation in life was going to the zoo with his father and watching the elephants. Now a grown-up, Dong Kyu works at a small zoo as a zookeeper taking care of elephants. Everyday is a routine without major happenings until he meets his girlfriend's parents and experiences another setback. Life's cruelty not only takes his girlfriend away from him but also his father who dies from a car accident. Amidst the terrible tragedy, a new face enters his life - Ha Kyung (Kim Jung Hwa), a piano teacher whom he gradually falls in love with. But will this bring a happy ending for Dong Kyu?
