No
historian recorded their heartaches, triumphs or names.
Yet Ayla and others like her left indelible imprints.
They continued humankind's long march toward
civilization...and away from more primitive groups like
The Clan Of The Cave Bear.
Daryl Hannah (Splash, Blade Runner) is
Ayla in a richly detailed, beautifully filmed screen
version of Jean M. Auel's bestseller. Separated from her
Cro-Magnon people by a calamitous earthquake, Ayla lives
with a less-developed, male-dominated Neanderthal clan.
She's different in appearance, in resourcefulness, in
her uncommon defiance of social taboos. And from those
differences arise conflicts that underscore the
Cro-Magnon's evolutionary ascendancy and the
Neanderthal's mysterious disappearance from our world.
A
Cro-Magnon girl is orphaned when her small tribe is
decimated by an earthquake. A Neanderthal elder takes
her into his tribe, but because she is more intelligence
and fair than the others she is an outcast. As a young
woman, she is tempered by the animosity of the
Neanderthals and she learns to provide for herself and
her child.
Based on
Jean M. Auel's Best Seller.
