Details
In the film Bonobo, Judith, a strict widow, is shocked when her daughter, Lily, abandons her law studies to join a group of hippie-misfits living in a commune. This unconventional community follows the peaceful principles of the bonobo monkey, which is known for prioritizing love and harmony over conflict and violence. Anita, the eccentric leader of the commune, believes she can reconcile the strained relationship between Judith and Lily if Judith is willing to spend a day with the group and embrace its principles.
However, both Judith and Lily are determined to prove each other wrong, making the task of resolving their differences more challenging for Anita. As Judith is exposed to the commune's unique practices and lifestyle, she begins to question her own beliefs and prejudices. Meanwhile, Lily grapples with her mother's disapproval and attempts to find her own identity in the midst of communal living.
As the day unfolds, tensions rise and the bonds between the characters are tested. Bonobo explores themes of acceptance, tolerance, and the power of love and understanding in bridging the gap between opposing ideologies. Can the commune's principles truly bring mother and daughter closer together, or will their stubbornness and preconceptions prevail?
