Synopsis
Um pinguim tupiniquim is an animation that mixes stop-motion animals and live-action actors to tell the story of Orozimbo, a neurotic bird who runs away from an arranged marriage in his South Pole colony and ends up at a crazy artist’s ranch in Brazil. Once there, he falls in love with Olga, a feminist guinea fowl who refuses to be just another egg-layer.
