Mammoth revolves around successful New York couple Leo (Gael García Bernal) and Ellen (Michelle Williams). Leo is a creator of a booming gaming website, and has stumbled into a world of money and big decisions. Ellen is a dedicated emergency surgeon who devotes her long shifts to saving lives. Their 8-year old daughter Jackie spends most of her time with her Filipino nanny Gloria, a situation that is making Ellen start to question her priorities.
