Film Is Now

Bingo Bongo (Adriano Celentano) ist im Urwald bei den Affen aufgewachsen. Er wird zu Studienzwecken nach Italien gebracht und weiß die Wissenschaftler mit seinen Fähigkeiten zu begeistern. Die Forscherin Laura (Carole Bouquet) ist an ihm interessiert, weil sie ihm das Sprechen beibringen will. Bingo Bongo ist auch an ihr interessiert, aber aus anderen Gründen.


The film opens with the story about how Bingo Bongo was stranded in the African jungle as a baby when his plane crashed. He was thrown out by parachute at the last instant and subsequently adopted by chimpanzees. Years later, as a grown man with animalistic behaviour, Bingo Bongo is captured by an expedition and brought to an anthropology institution in Milan for study and shut in a cage.  Bingo Bongo proves not only to be extremely strong and highly intelligent and perceptive, he also develops a crush on Laura, one of the researchers, and bonds with her pet chimpanzee Renato. Laura, on the other hand, tries her best to integrate Bingo Bongo into human society.
