Bang Bang Baby Season 1 {Part 1} Recap – With its stylised images, “Bang Bang Baby” depicts the story of a teenage girl and how her life altered when she discovered who her father was. The two Italian mafia families are thrown into chaos as a result of infidelity, and Alice chooses to be a part of it.
With an emphasis on nostalgia from the 1980s, Amazon Prime’s “Bang Bang Baby” is rife with pop culture references, from television ads to the desire for all things American. Alice fantasises about being the “Big Babool” girl from TV, who could murder her foes with a burst of bubble gum, but in fact, she lacked both guts and a gun.
Bang Bang Baby Season 1 [Part 1] Recap
Alice is a typical adolescent who is frequently bullied at school. Jimbo, her queer best friend, had to go through a similar ordeal, and the two bonded over their differences. She had gendered lessons until then because her mother was a feminist who worked at the factory and was a member of the union.
She studied applied physics, while Jimbo pursued a career in beauty and health. They were rebels in their own right, and they had to bear the consequences. Her routine school day took a turn for the worst when her teacher, by chance, placed the newspaper on her desk. Her father’s looks caught her attention. He was detained after being discovered naked on the streets of Milan.
Since she was always informed that her father died when she was little, a flood of memories invaded her head. She recalled the day at the fair when she and her mother were enjoying a ride when she discovered her father lying dead on the field after hearing a loud gunshot.
She ate a lot of sugar during a stressful period. She travelled to Milan in quest of her father, carrying just the photo she had of him. She went to the house she used to live in as a youngster because the cops wouldn’t let her meet him. When she entered, she remembered her Nonna Lina and asked for her. When she looked at her grandmother, she immediately recognised her.
Even though her mother was against it, she knew her granddaughter would come in quest of her ancestors. Nonna Lina (Dora Romano) took her to Santo Barone’s prison to meet her father. Santo gained Alice’s trust and made her believe she was his sole family with his beautiful words and charisma. He instructed her to clean an apartment for him and keep it hidden from everyone, even Nonna Lina.
Alice knew two things after meeting her father: first, that he was alive and that her mother had lied to her, and second, that by cleaning the flat, she could win her father’s love and trust. She was ready to go to any length for him. She wanted for affection from her father.
The only difficulty was that she was unaware of the complexities of her father’s seemingly harmless request. The Barone mafia family was infamous for their heinous methods of dealing with opponents. It wasn’t like any other apartment I’d ever seen. There was a body there, waiting for Alice to clean up her father’s messes.
What Was the Deal on Malpensa Airport?
The Barone family was overjoyed at the prospect of a successful Malpensa Airport sale, but the television news report revealed a different picture. The City Council did not vote in favour of the Mafia-controlled shopping complex that was supposed to be erected there. Even after spending money to buy votes, they were surprised to learn that the arrangement did not go as planned.
Salvo Ferrau, the Damerino for whom they had paid money to ensure the seamless transfer of the agreement, was nowhere to be located. Guiseppina, his wife, disregarded the Barone family’s calls. They realised something wasn’t right, and they were determined to figure out what it was. It had been Nonna Lina and her husband’s desire for twenty years to get the deal, and her disappointment was palpable.
Nonna Lina had been grieving her husband’s loss for fourteen years. She had battered him to death in a fit of rage after he had physically assaulted her, according to a flashback. Her husband was nowhere to be found. People initially assumed he had gone missing, but he was eventually declared dead.
Though, based on the odour and the fracture, it’s safe to believe she buried her husband’s remains within their home and cemented it to create an altar in his honour. Gambacorta Barone, his brother, had a secret romance with her. Despite her difficulties coping with the men’s world, Nonna Lina gradually became the head of the immediate family.
Salvo Ferrau: What Happened to Him?
Salvo Ferrau has been reported as missing. Given the date of his leave, his absence became a source of curiosity. The Barone family was betrayed, and they suspected his wife, Guiseppina, of being responsible for his abduction. His wife lamented her husband’s unexpected absence and prayed day and night for his return.
She began to propagate the story that he had fled to Brazil with his secret girlfriend. Nonna Lina struggled to accept the fact that she was being followed by men. They followed Guiseppina to her flat as soon as they learned she had left her house.
This was the same flat that Alice’s father had requested that she clean. She arrived at 12 a.m. to find a murder scene that had been left undisturbed. She sat in front of the television to recover from what she had seen. She began to recall how her family used to be while she watched her favourite comedies.
They were ruthless and merciless. Adults discussed drug deals and tormented anyone who tried to disobey during her childhood. They had a pig that ate the guts of the Barone family’s adversaries. She was well aware that she was in trouble, but a part of her longed to earn her father’s love.
When Guiseppina walked into the apartment, she was greeted by Alice. She quickly understood that Alice would not hurt her after meeting her. Salvo Ferrau and Guiseppina were the owners of the apartment. Salvo Ferrau’s body was discovered laying there. A dead body might be carried after being wrapped in a bedsheet, according to Alice’s father. She moved the body to the garage using the same technique.
Nonna Lina and Rocco, meantime, had followed Guiseppina to the structure. To enter the house, they requested a drink of water from her. Despite the fact that the flat had been cleaned and there were no signs of the murder, Nonna Lina saw a small piece of glass on the carpet.
She directed Rocco to the garage because she knew the elevator had arrived there as soon as they entered the house. Alice hid the body as well as herself inside the car to avoid Rocco’s gaze.
Behind Salvo Ferrau’s back, Guiseppina and Alice’s father, Santo, were having an affair. Salvo found his wife and Santo in a compromising situation when he entered the apartment and threatened to kill them. Guiseppina was willing to die since she was humiliated for betraying her husband. Santo tried to persuade him by recalling their boyhood friendship, but Salvo could not forgive him for betraying his trust.
Santo swooped down on him and snatched his neck. Salvo was choked to death by him. The Barone and Ferrau families were both loyal to one another, but it was the affair and subsequent murder that caused all hell to break loose between them.
What Happened to Salvo Ferrau’s Body?
Salvo’s younger brother, Nereo, was hell-bent on discovering the truth. Guiseppina had his doubts, and he suspected she knew what had happened to his brother. He examined her residence and discovered the keys to the flat in an attempt to uncover the truth. When he arrived at the location and saw no trace of his brother, he began to assume that he had genuinely vanished to Brazil.
He found his brother’s wig hiding beneath a cabinet just as he was thinking that. His brother never left the house without the wig; thus he knew Salvo was murdered, according to him. He began piecing together the mystery by questioning Santo’s arrest that very night. He was apprehended near the apartment block, and he assumed it was he who had murdered his brother.
That night, Santo claimed he was with a woman named Cleopatra. Cleopatra, a sex prostitute, was assigned to Alice with the task of persuading her to testify for Santo. She sat down in front of the Ferrau and Barone families after being bribed and confessed that she had been with Santo that night, and she had the necklace that Alice had given her as proof. Santo, she claimed, wore his jewellery all the time and only took it off while they were making love. The Ferrau family was persuaded, but Nereo was not.
Bang Bang Baby Season 1 Ending Explained
Alice fantasised about travelling to Disneyland with her father and Guiseppina, with whom she had grown to appreciate her company. However, her beautiful dreams were cut short when a police dog returned home with a man’s mutilated arm. The finger had a ring on it, and suspicions spread that it was Salvo Ferrau’s arm. Nereo was enraged.
He was aware that his brother had been slain, and he was willing to go to any length to kill Santo. Santo was brought to the hospital following an injury, and Nereo went to the hospital to identify the arm. Santo’s palm had been perforated by Nonna Lina to give him the pretext to flee the prison and, afterwards the hospital. At the same time, Nereo and Santo went to the restroom.
Nereo attempted to choke Santo with his belt while the police rushed Barone from outside. When Santo called out for aid, the cops intervened and brought the situation to a halt. Santo bolted from the hospital in the midst of the mayhem.
Guiseppina adored and mourned her husband’s death, but she also admired Santo. She became outraged after hearing about the arm that had been discovered and contacted Alice. She had put her trust in Alice to bury her husband in a suitable location, expecting to pay tribute to him after his death.
However, Alice set fire to the automobile and Salvo’s body in a remote field. She afterwards led Guiseppina to the location where she had burned her husband’s remains. Santo met them there, and Alice imagined that this would be the ideal happy ending, with the three of them escaping the situation together.
Santo, on the other hand, had different ideas. He could no longer trust Guiseppina and aimed the rifle at her. He was afraid she would tell the family the truth about her husband’s death. Alicia attempted to defend Guiseppina by pointing her revolver at her father. Guiseppina snatched Alice’s rifle from her grip and shot herself in the head. In his automobile, Santo brought Alice with him.
The sound of gunfire was heard by Nereo, who was following Guiseppina. Santo fled the scene with Alice in the automobile, which he, his brother, and sister noticed. Santo was injured after shots were fired. Their vehicle collided with a tree. Santo urged Alice to flee, but she instead chose to take control of the vehicle and drive.
Santo sat unconsciously beside her as she drove as quickly as she could. Nereo, high on cocaine and vengeance, opened fire indiscriminately. Alice was saved thanks to a method she learned from the Pac-Man video game. In the 1980s, video games were popular, and Alice had figured out how to avoid the enemy by constantly changing tracks in the game. In the real-life chase, she did the same thing, and it worked. While she was able to leave the Farrau brothers behind, the spectre of her father’s wrongdoing would follow her till the end.
Is there going to be a Bang Bang Baby Season 1 Part 2?
The series began with Alice joining a holy organisation, and with their help, she was able to obtain a gun and swear to put society ahead of her family. She was given a gun with which to murder a member of her family. This suggests that there will be a season 2, or Season 1, Part 2, to explain who she plans to kill and what happened after she escaped Nereo.
Because she assisted in the concealment of the body and was Santo’s daughter, she would be a target for the cops as well. Alice’s life as an introspective teen is entirely wrecked by the mafia family, the police, and her father’s actions.
The visually beautiful series “Bang Bang Baby” is infatuated with 80s pop culture. Alice embarks on a quest to rediscover her roots, only to discover that the fruit does not fall far from the tree. She, like the members of the infamous Barone family, had begun to believe that she possessed a steel heart.
She had to deal with difficulties that no other adolescent had to, and she grew stronger and more confident as a result. She stood up to the bullies at school, and it was her cocky charm that helped her earn popularity among her peers. She was drawn to the frantic pace of life and wanted to be a part of it.
