Elephant Song is a 2014 Canadian drama film directed by Charles Binamé and adapted from the same titled stage play by Nicolas Billon.

Michael, a disturbed young man, the son of an opera singer and a distant father he has only seen once, has an aura of charm about him and displays signs of rationality and intelligence that draws the doctor deeper into his stories, despite warnings by head nurse Susan Peterson to keep a distance from the patient.

Greene is somewhat distracted by issues in his own life, as tensions with Olivia (his sister or wife — this is unclear) are made worse when she appears at the hospital unannounced with young Amy.

Michael claimed he "killed his mother" by refusing to call an ambulance for her when she ingested an overdose of pills, instead singing to her the "elephant song" until she died on the floor.

Michael is aware that Nurse Peterson and Dr. Greene were married and the circumstances of losing their daughter Rachel and makes it known that he knows.

Michael's ploys also include an attempt to negotiate his early release from hospital in return for divulging the circumstances of Dr. Lawrence's disappearance.
