A voice that claims to be the ghost of Pepe, the first and only hippopotamus ever killed in the Americas, tells his story. Beginning in Southern Africa and moving to South America, Pepe narrates his eventful life—from being owned by Colombian drug baron Pablo Escobar to his final days roaming free.
Beautifully shot. Melancholy, surreal, a sly wit: in one moment meditative, in the next jangled.
