Documentary about the Colombian drug dealer Pablo Escobar, who ordered the delivery of three hippos, among other animals, to build his private zoo. The story is told by Pablo, the alpha-male. When Escobar dies, the hippo farm is abandoned and the animals spread through the place, causing a major ecological unbalance. The animal’s issue and the impious and powerful Escobar’s trajectory are seen on a parallel.
