Details
In the movie Mammoth (2009), the lives of three women are forever altered by the actions of a successful game designer. Successful businessman Leo and his wife, Ellen, seem to have it all – a luxurious Manhattan apartment, a seemingly perfect marriage, and a happy young daughter. However, Leo's constant work demands and Ellen's growing dissatisfaction start to strain their relationship.
Their live-in nanny, Gloria, is an immigrant from the Philippines who left her own children behind to provide for them financially. As Gloria struggles to navigate her complex role within the family, she develops a deep bond with the couple's daughter.
Meanwhile, a world away in Thailand, we are introduced to a working-class single mother, Cookie, who toils day and night to support her young son. Facing economic hardship and having to leave her child in the care of others, Cookie dreams of a better life for her family.
As the lives of Leo, Ellen, Gloria, and Cookie intertwine, the consequences of their choices become more apparent. Mammoth explores themes of privilege, globalization, and the impact of personal decisions on the lives of others.
This emotionally-charged drama delves into the complexities of modern relationships and the search for meaning in a rapidly changing world.
