Movie: "Water for Elephants"

After his parents' death, Jacob Jankoski is left penniless and homeless. Events lead him to joining the circus as their veternarian, working under their unstable boss August whose violent tendencies give everyone reason to be cautious around him, including his beautiful and quiet wife Marlena, with whom August is very possessive.

"Water for Elephants" is illuminated by a wonderful sense of time and place. It tells a story of a love between two people that overcomes incredible odds in a world in which even love is a luxury that few can afford.

Starring: Reese Witherspoon, Robert Pattinson and Christoph Waltz.
