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 enable us to understand their incredible techniques and feel their intact emotional power.The paintings and drawings of the Chauvet cave – made thirty six thousand years ago and discovered twenty years ago 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.
