From a cappy-cafe owner in Japan to an escaped capybara in the UK, this homespun film takes the temperature of an international obsession.
O ne of Midlands-based film-maker Sharon Walia’s previous works was The Keepers of the Pigs, proudly described on her production company’s website as “the first ever documentary about guinea pigs”. As glimpsed here, there was even a capybara in the recent Academy Award-winning animated feature Flow, some pro-cappy boosterism that captured the creatures’ chill vibe and snuffly sweetness.
Equipped with a basic camera, a drone and her five-year-old son for company, Walia visits a variety of venues offering capybara-centric attractions, starting in the species’ home turf in Brazil; there she meets Luciano Mochinski, whose smartphone-shot footage of himself sitting under an umbrella with a large inquisitive male cappy went viral.
Other interlocutors include a cappy-cafe owner in Japan who’s found a great way to get out of the rat race doing what he loves and makes no claims to expertise on the creatures.
