Ivo is a well-known zoo gorilla. Today he lives in Berlin but in the past he has lived in zoos throughout Europe. But wherever he has lived he has attracted attention and a devout following (especially women). Despite his popularity Ivo is not regarded as a success. He has not been able to reproduce. Ivo’s story is told through the stories of the people who have become part of his life. Each has his or her own vision of the gorilla and each tells a part of his history from childhood through puberty to adulthood. As the film progresses the pieces of Ivo’s life slowly come together and we are given an insight into the nature of his existence.
