1879, nine-year-old Maria Sautuola and her father, Marcelino, discover the first cave art and accomplished paintings of galloping bison. But Maria's mother, devout Conchita, is disturbed at the idea that prehistoric savages could have created such magnificent art. The Catholic Church sees this as an attack on Biblical truth, whilst the family question their origins and faith in their church.
