Synopsis

A dead hippopotamus named Pepe starts to become aware of his existence from beyond the grave and initiates a monologue where he speaks as if he were a human. Pepe, who doesn't understand the perception of time and space, reflects on life and the places he visits. One of the big sensations at the past Berlin Film Festival, where it garnered the Silver Bear for Best Director.
