The Grand Masters of The Chauvet Cave

The paintings and drawings of the Chauvet cave – made thirty six thousand years ago and discovered in 1994 in the south of France – are the oldest human artistic expression to date. Their strength and modernity changed radically all the ideas we had on prehistorical art. The creation of an important museum devoted to the reproduction of the works allows a close-up on the paintings, the drawings and the engravings. The film enables us to understand their incredible techniques and feel their intact emotional power.
