Three hippos are brought from South West Africa to Colombia and left behind after the death of their master. They survive and Pepe is born. His brother kills their father and becomes the patriarch. Pepe confronts him, loses and is banished. He discovers the "bipeds" in the Magdalena River. He has strange encounters with them: a shadow, a floating piece of wood, an entity from the afterlife. His ghost tells the story, seriously and playfully, of beings who died without ever knowing where they were.
In cooperation with the Deichtorhallen Hamburg and the Hochschule für bildende Künste Hamburg, we are showing the film, which celebrated its world premiere in this year's Berlinale competition, in a Hamburg premiere followed by a Q&A.
On the following day, Thursday 11 July, there will be a lecture with the director in the Deichtorhallen.
