The final image of the film shows the tribe and their domesticated wolves, hunting together.
Alpha and her pups are formally welcomed into the tribe and grow up in the care of Alpha and Keda. As the village healer tends to both Keda and Alpha's wounds, Alpha delivers a litter of puppies much to Keda's surprise as Alpha is revealed to be female. Keda eventually finds the village while nearly passing out from exhaustion and reunites happily with his shocked, but relieved parents, who are both amazed and proud of him. When Alpha finally cannot walk, Keda carries the wolf. Meanwhile, an equally injured Keda begins to cough up blood. Keda saves Alpha by using the bow to kill the lion with the arrow, although Alpha is badly wounded in the fight and now travels with difficulty. However, inside they are confronted and attacked by another cave lion, causing Alpha to violently fight the animal. Later, they take refuge from a pack of cave hyenas inside a cave. Alpha helps rescue him and they are reunited.Ĭontinuing the journey together, they find a man who has frozen to death outside his tent and scavenge a bow and arrow from it. Recognizing Alpha, he runs to them, but the ice breaks and he falls through. On a frozen lake, he encounters a pack of wolves feeding on a carcass. Keda continues his journey alone as the season changes into winter.
The pack run off and with Keda's blessing, Alpha joins them. Upon seeing Alpha, who steps forward to greet them, they recognize Keda's companion. One night, they are approached menacingly by a pack of wolves. Along the way, Keda names the wolf Alpha. Their relationship grows, and they learn to hunt animals together. He sets out for the village without the wolf, but it follows him. Gradually gaining the wolf's trust, he gives it water and then food, establishing himself as dominant by feeding himself first. Keda takes pity on it and cares for its injury. Keda is later attacked and chased by a pack of ferocious wolves, but escapes up a tree and wounds one of the pack members which the others leave behind. Seeing the memorial cairn left by his tribe, he realizes he must travel back to the village by himself. He survives and splints his injured foot before returning to the top of the cliff. Losing his grip, Keda falls into the water. A sudden heavy rainfall causes the ravine below to flood. He kills the bird by wringing its neck and tries to climb the rest of the way down the cliff. Keda is awoken by a vulture who mistakes him for dead. The tribe leaves and Tau performs another funeral ritual, stricken with grief. Tau attempts to climb down to him, but he is stopped by fellow hunter Sigma who assures him in good faith that Keda is dead and there would be no way to reach him nonetheless. Keda loses his grip and plummets to a further ledge where he appears to break his leg and is knocked unconscious.
Amidst the chaos, the bull rushes towards Keda and tosses him over the edge, leaving him gripping the rough cliff edge with his hand. The hunters eventually reach a herd of steppe bison, which they attempt to stampede off a cliff in relative success. Kappa is given a memorial service in the form of a cairn to symbolize the passing of one's spirit to the afterlife. Hearing the fatal struggle in the darkness, the tribe gives him up for dead. One night, the party's fire draws the attention of a large cave lion, which lunges through their circle, snatching Kappa before anyone can do anything. Tau tests Keda by having him kill a wild boar they've caught, but Keda hesitates. His wife Rho worries that Keda is not ready, but Tau believes he is and the hunters set out. Tau, its chief, trains his teenage son Keda, accepting him and Keda's friend Kappa to join the hunting party.
In Upper Paleolithic Europe 20,000 years ago, a small tribe of hunter-gatherers prepare for a hunting expedition to hunt for the coming winter's food.
