action

The Neanderthal Ao lives by 30,000 before our time with his clan in the area of present-day Siberia in a cave. One day when he returns from hunting a polar bear , he finds all of the clan members dead. He is attacked by two Homo sapiens , who apparently have killed the other clan members, but can drive the attackers to flight.

Ao decides to return to his real home in the south, where his twin brother Oa lives, from whom he was separated in childhood. On his wandering he is captured by a group of Homo sapiens. While in captivity, he observed how the husband of Aki, a pregnant Homo sapiens woman who was also captured, was killed by Aguk. When Ao manages to escape, Aki can also escape. She secretly follows Ao into a cave, where she gives birth to her daughter Wana .

Ao thinks he recognizes his daughter, who was murdered by Homo sapiens, in Wana and takes them on his journey. Over time, Ao and Aki become friends, and when Ao suffers from an illness from which large parts of his former clan died in his childhood, Aki can cure him with the help of herbs.

Upon arrival home, Ao only finds the dead Oa. He remains the last Neanderthal. Four years later, he's still with Aki, who is expecting a child from him.
