It proceeds with Joyce Poole, an elephant biologist, discussing some of the characteristics of an elephant, including mirror recognition capability. Cynthia Moss and Katy Payne explain some of the habits of elephants. While discussing anthropomorphism of elephants, Indian scientist Raman Sukumar states that elephants have a love–hate relationship with human society. The documentary then describes elephant capture for public display in circuses and zoos. After describing the role of elephants in the environment, the documentary depicts some of the training techniques at circuses using bullhooks. It then shows an "elephant healing area" created in Northern California by Ed Stewart and Pat Derby, founders of Performing Animal Welfare Society. Derby tells the reunion story of Wanda, an elephant from Detroit Zoo, and Gypsy, from one of the circuses from Illinois, who were together in a circus in 1980 and bought together again in 2005. It describes various incidents of elephant communication and their emotional bonding; and it relates the story of Topsy from Luna Park, Coney Island, and her electrocution on January 4, 1903. The documentary depicts new bullhook-free techniques implemented at Oakland Zoo for elephants; it ends by raising an alarm against the ivory trade, stating that the current elephant killing rate would lead to extinction of the species in ten years.

在日本东京某个角落，经营着一家名为东京道歉中心的机构。该机构负责人黑岛让（阿部隆史 饰）以"道歉师"自居，无论是日常人与人之间的争吵纠纷还是大到关系国家存亡的世界危机，他都可以凭借自己掌握各种道歉技巧顺利解决，化险为夷。下面是几个因各自怪癖和毛病惹来麻烦的委托人，拜托黑岛道歉解决纷争的案例，从中或可窥见所谓道歉师的些许风貌。        以司法从业人员为目标的海归仓持典子（井上真央 饰）不慎引起一桩追尾事故，被撞的一方显然是几个粗暴蛮横的黑道人物。自幼接受西方教育的典子对日本人的道歉方式根本没有概念，她漫不经心与对方签订了赔偿协议，却没注意到协议中几个不起眼但够要人命的条款，"私了400万，可分期付款，每月偿还12万，利息每10天30%计，自下周起在大阪从事风俗行业"。宛如晴天霹雳一般，典子不得不求助于黑岛。        某内衣制造企业中坚员工沼田卓也（冈田将生 饰）是一个典型因性格惹祸的家伙，他生性过于开朗随便，在某次聚餐时醉酒性骚扰同一项目的同事宇部美咲（尾野真千子 饰），事后他的道歉又轻浮敷衍，诚意欠奉，反让美咲怒气冲天。不久，卓也被从项目组踢出，其本人也遭到起诉。        著名演员南部哲郎（高桥克实 饰）的儿子卷入伤人事件，为了筹备即将召开的媒体道歉发布会，南部特意向黑岛请教。可是无论怎么努力，南部的道歉戏剧感十足，总给人作秀表演的感觉。值此关键时刻，南部的前妻——著名女星坛乃遥香（松雪泰子 饰）穿上最为正式的传统服装十二单衣现身道歉发布会的现场。        沼田卓也的律师箕轮正臣（竹野内丰 饰）同时也是仓持典子的大学老师。他毕业于哥伦比亚大学，在27个国家取得了律师资格证，堪称驰名海内外的律界精英。事业卓有成就的箕轮婚姻却黯淡破裂，面对已经三岁却缺少父爱的女儿，箕轮希望能好好道歉，可作为律师的荣誉感又使他难以启齿。        电影制片人和田耕作（荒川良良 饰）偶然邀请微服来日访问的蒙坦王国皇太子担任临时演员，谁知就此种下祸端。消息一经披露，惹来蒙坦王国强烈抗议，对方要求以侵害皇族肖像权的罪名判处相关人员20年徒刑。虽然黑岛等人亲自前往该国道歉，但是由于风土人情之间的巨大差异，导致道歉以失败告终。在此之后，事件上升到国际争端的层面，蒙坦王国随后发表与日本中断贸易往来的声明，黑岛面临前所未有的挑战。        最后一个案例与黑岛本人相关，我们将看到他是如何从一名平凡人物，逐渐成为前所未闻的"道歉师"的。
