Details

After her father dies, Chloe, played by Edith Storey, is left alone in the world. She is discovered and taken home to their cave by brothers Dagban and Eric, who vie for her affection in an allegory about “brain vs. brawn.” When “Dagban threatens to do her bodily harm unless she accedes to his intentions” Eric beats up his brother to protect Chloe, and then subsequently leaves the cave he calls home to avoid further conflict. By this point, he has won Chloe’s affection with his kindness and love, and she decides to follow him and “together they continue their journey, seeking happiness in the land beyond the horizon, which joins earth with heaven.”

Reviews

Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
Protraph Lack of good storyline.
GetPapa Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
