NOTES
Title from title frames
In this powerful historical drama about the intersection of faith and reason, a Spanish archaeologist Marcelino (Antonio Banderas) and his daughter Maria (Allegra Allen) discover seemingly impossible paintings of galloping bison adorning the walls of a hidden cave. The discovery brings the world together in amazement, drawing people of all types to see the paintings in person. But, Marcelino soon realizes that the art on the walls must be 10,000 years old, earlier than anyone believes possible. The theory threatens to tear Maria and Marcelino's family apart while the outside world's astonishment soon turns to fury and fear. Only their love for each other can guide them toward redemption as Marcelino fights to spread the truth. Official Selection at the **Tribeca Film Festival** and the **Austin Film Festival**. *"Director Hugh Hudson maintains a steady hand throughout in this low-key but powerful rumination on faith and reason." - Bruce Demara, **Toronto Star*** *"Hugh Hudson shoots in lush settings and provides ample footage of the incredible paintings; this could make a nice double feature alongside Werner Herzog's documentary 'Cave of Forgotten Dreams.'" - Chris Knight, **National Post***
