The story of a Stone Age boy who longs for some comfort in his life. Everyone laughs at Ug when he wants soft trousers made from mammoth skin, when he picks a bunch of flowers for his mother just to enjoy and not to eat, and when he suggests building a proper house and moving out of the cave. Is Ug just ahead of his time? A new look at life in the Stone Age. (9+)
