Story Synopsis

Based upon the book “Animals Are My Hobby” by Gertrude Davies Lintz, Buddy tells the true story of ”Trudy” Lintz (Rene Russo), an eccentric 1920s socialite who is known as the most generous keeper of animals since Noah. On her New York estate, she cares for a diverse collection of animals—including Buddy, a gorilla she nurtured from a sickly baby. But as Buddy grows, so do the problems he encounters in the civilized society, creating a dilemma for his adoptive parents and the community.
