Synopsis

A young woman nearly drives into a giant figure on a desert road. Her father's attempt to document the discovery leads to a search through the dunes, where a surviving prehistoric man lives in a cave. A rescue mission becomes more complicated when the lonely giant develops an attachment to his unexpected visitor.
