In a small zoo, the arrival of the hippopotamus Zafari is celebrated by neighbors of opposing social classes. Ana, Edgar and their son Bruno watch all the action from the windows of their decadent high-class building.

In a world that has become wild, Zafari is the only one who still has enough to eat.

Juan José Beteta Cinencuentro It's not a successful work, so perhaps it's best to get rid of Zafari. [Full review in Spanish] Aug 28, 2025 Full Review Nilton Arana Cinencuentro Within the genres it claims to cover, drama is latent but teeters between simplified representations and forced situations; dark humor seems to be an excuse to cover up dangerous ideologies.
