80,000 years ago, at the time of the Stone Age, a tribe of Homo Sapiens possessed fire, the object of all covetousness. If they know how to keep it, they don’t know how to create it. One day, the tribe is attacked by a clan of Neanderthals and the fire goes out. Three hunters set out to conquer this flame on which their survival depends.
