Hippo explores the coming of age of two siblings: Hippo, a video game addicted teenager, and Buttercup, a Hungarian Catholic immigrant who loves classical music and Jesus. Like the ancient Greek Aphrodite, Buttercup’s love is unfulfilled by a brother who would rather enjoy the art of war and chaos. The result is a hormone-fueled, tragicomic waking nightmare that has to be seen to be believed.
