Introduction: Georg Simbeni

Werner Herzog has been fascinated by stone-age cave paintings since his childhood. First discovered in 1994, the Chauvet Cave contains a large number of such paintings, which are some of the oldest in the world. In 2010, Herzog was given permission to shoot in the cave, which is not accessible to the public. The film presents the diversity of the different depictions there, while scientists explain the context in which these testimonies of early civilization were created.
