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.
Editor's Note
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. Academy Award Nominations: Best Makeup.
