Nelson Carlo de los Santos Arias / DO, 2024 / 123 min.
This winner of the Silver Bear for Best Director in Berlin is a narcotising, inventive travel report based on the life and death of one of Pablo Escobar’s favourite hippos. Cinema of the imagination.
It is a strange, yet true story. In 1993, after the death of Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar, his entire collection of exotic pets was shipped to zoos and reserves except for his hippos: they escaped and became targets for government sterilisers and poachers.
