The Elephant in the Room

Ever since first meeting them Mascha thinks something isn’t quite right with Julia and Max. She notices that Julia is covered in big bruises. And when Mascha manages to catch a glimpse through one of their windows she knows that somehow she has to help them, but how if no adult wants to listen? Mascha hasa calamitous idea and sometimes it’s better to do the wrong thing than not to doanything at all.“Elephants Can’t Be Seen” tackles the taboo subject of domestic violence against children. A strong disturbing debut that nevertheless offers hope.
