La tribù di Koran vive un brutto momento: i sogni dello sciamano l’hanno spinta verso territori dove la caccia non è particolarmente buona. Ogon lo sciamano cerca di indirizzare il malcontento su Satu, bambino disabile, con un occhio azzurro e uno marrone, che lui indica come inviso agli spiriti della foresta e a essi sacrificabile. Per fortuna Koran, il capotribù, non crede ai sacrifici umani. All’apice della crisi, si presenta una preda straordinaria: uno degli ultimi mammut. Con il fuoco, i cacciatori riescono a spingere la grossa bestia verso una zona paludosa. Lì l’animale s’impantana e viene ucciso. Mentre gli uomini scuoiano il mammut giungono però i lupi, richiamati dalle grida e dall’odore del sangue. I cacciatori tengono a bada gli animali inferociti mentre le donne recuperano carne e pelle del mammut. Ora c’è cibo in abbondanza per tutti.

Un fuoco acceso sotto un cielo stellato e uomini seduti intorno per riscaldarsi. Un nonno racconta e un bambino ascolta attento. Potrebbe essere un'immagine di oggi, ma gli uomini attorno al fuoco indossano solo pelli di animali, e le costellazioni in cielo sono quelle di un milione di anni fa. È un nonno preistorico, quello che racconta, e le storie che narra appartengono all'età della pietra. Ma il suo nipotino ascolta rapito, perché da sempre gli uomini amano i racconti appassionanti!
