Plot

The film is set in the Stone Age period. A crime is committed within a tribe: "Gaunt", an intellectual who was to speak at the tribal council, is killed. All suspicions fall on "Eared", a peaceful young man, a dreamy painter. A trial begins during which all witnesses give evidence against Eared. It would seem that everything is clear, Eared is guilty and death awaits him. However, when the accused himself takes the case, acting as a lawyer of himself, the situation dramatically changes.

It turns out that all the "witnesses" are lying. Moreover, it was they themselves who have committed this crime, for they were consumed by envy and anger towards Gaunt. "Ladies' man" was vying for Gaunt's wife, "Eloquent" envied the orator's glory of the deceased. But the main instigator of Gaunt's destruction was the right-hand man of the tribe's chief - the "Fighting man". This warrior does not need democracy nor justice; he craves absolute power and is ready to do anything to achieve his goal.
