It’s a coming-of-age film like no other in the official trailer to the wacky Hippo.

HIPPO examines the coming-of-age of two step-siblings: Hippo, a video-game addicted teenager and Buttercup, a Hungarian Catholic immigrant with a love of classical music and Jesus. Like the Ancient Greek Aphrodite, Buttercup’s love is unrequited by a brother who prefers to indulge the art of war and chaos. The result is a hormone-fueled, tragicomic waking nightmare that must be seen to be believed.

It’s a coming-of-age film like never before starring Kimball Farley (who co-wrote the film), Lilla Kizlinger, Eliza Roberts, and Jesse Pimentel with Eric Roberts serving as the narrator. The film was co-written and directed by Mark H. Rapaport.

The film will be released in select theaters on November 12.
