“Deep in the past... Lost to all memory... Lies a mystery that has haunted man for a million years.”

Adventure

A million years ago in Africa: the last of the ape-humans is on flight from the humans, who killed the rest of his clan. Alone, seeking others of his kind, he traverses steps, deserts and mountains until he reaches the coast. But there are already humans, too.

VIBE

A sweeping, primal journey through prehistoric landscapes. It feels like a nature documentary, focusing on the raw struggle for survival and the deep-seated need for connection in a vast, untamed world. A visually stunning, albeit simple, tale of one creature's search for belonging.
