Hippo explores the coming of age of two fathers, Hippo, a teenager addicted to video games, and Boglárka, a Hungarian Catholic immigrant who loves classical music and Jesus. Like the ancient Greek Aphrodite, Buttercup’s love is not reciprocated by a brother willing to devote himself to the arts of war and chaos. The result is a hormone-fueled, tragic awakening nightmare that has to be seen to be seen.
