Publisher's Synopsis
Adventure drama set in the last days of the Neanderthals. The film opens with the discovery of a recently-orphaned Cro-Magnon child, Ayla, who convinces the clan leaders to let her stay with them. As she grows into a beautiful young woman (Daryl Hannah) with strength and skill, Ayla becomes critical of the demeaning treatment of the clan women and the brutal male seduction rites. She must fight for her survival, respect and, finally, acceptance from the clan.
