Synopsis: Zed, a prehistoric would-be hunter, eats from a tree of forbidden fruit and is banished from his tribe, accompanied by Oh, a shy gatherer. On their travels, they meet Cain and Abel on a fateful day, stop Abraham from killing Isaac, become slaves, and reach the city of Sodom where their tribe is now enslaved. Zed and Oh are determined to rescue the women they love, Maya and Eema. Standing in their way is Sodom's high priest and the omnipresent Cain. Zed tries to form an alliance with Princess Innana, which may backfire. Can an inept hunter and a smart but slender and diffident gatherer become heroes and make a difference?

That's what this is about?

Laying with Maya?

I have a great destiny,

I'm about to find out what it is.

Put the fruit down.

What if somebody sees us?

They'll peel our skin off

and tie us to an anthill.

Now you've done it.

It's got sort of a knowledge-y taste.

Does it have a sort of forbidden taste?

That's what it is.

- Oh, I definitely feel something.

- What?

Less hungry, for one,

but also more intelligenter.

It's like

I feel like maybe I know everything.

Ask me something. Anything. Go.

Test me. Go.

All right, where does the sun go

at night?

Pass. Next question.

- Okay, where do babies come from?

- Pass. Next question.

- There's a snake on my foot.

- In the form of a question.

There's a snake on my foot?

- Correct.

- What do I do?

I got a lot of ideas. I'm bursting

with ideas on the subject.

- It's constricting me.

- You could stick your finger in its hole.

You know what, you could eat it

before it eats you. Try that.

Eat the snake first.

That's what my new brain tells me.

- It's preparing to eat me.

- Go for the eyes.

It's big.

Zed, please help me.

I'm dying a virgin.

Wait right here.

I'm gonna go eat more fruit.

- This was a bit of a rough day for me.

- Yeah. There's gotta be more to life.

This is a lot. I don't think I can handle

too much more than this.

No way. Look at these people.

They're like animals.

We're way too good for this.

Now that I'm smarter

I'm going straight to the top.

I'm bringing you.

You're gonna be my right hand.

I've seen what you do

with your right hand. No.

Don't you wonder what's on

the other side of the mountains?

There's nothing on the other side

of the mountains, okay?

The world ends. Everybody

knows that. You'd fall right off of it.

But what if it doesn't?

It makes my stomach go:

I've been thinking a lot

ever since I ate that fruit.

Why is there fruit? What is fruit?

It's a thing that you eat.

Why do we eat?

What are we? What are we?

Why do I have these?

Everything is weird.

When you really stop and look at it,

everything gets very, very strange...

Why am I talking? What is this?

My lips make a movement

and then a sound...

...and you know what I mean.

Blows my mind.

That just sounds like crazy fruit talk.

I don't wanna hear it right now.

Boy, she looks nice tonight.

Do it, man. Dance for her.

I don't know.

They're doing the jackal dance.

It's not my strongest.

What, are you kidding me?

You have an amazing jackal dance.

Go. Jackal dance.

Get into it.

Over the head.

I'm gonna go and eat.

I'm gonna come back.

Your father was a great hunter.

But you, you're like a little girl.

Good one, Marlak.
