Synopsis

Abandoned for his skin color, Ryuu is raised by a monkey and seeks family in prehistoric world.

In a prehistoric world where survival is a daily struggle, a child named Ryuu is born with unusual skin color that marks him as different from his tribe. Faced with superstition and fear, the tribe attempts to offer him to the wild, but fate intervenes when he is rescued and raised by a compassionate monkey who becomes his adoptive mother. Meanwhile, Ryuu's birth mother, heartbroken and determined, leaves everything behind to search for her lost child. Years later, Ryuu has grown into a resourceful young man, living in harmony with nature. His path crosses with Ran, a spirited girl who has been displaced from her own home. As their lives intertwine, they discover unexpected connections to Ryuu's mysterious past. Together, they embark on an epic journey across a dangerous prehistoric landscape, seeking answers about their families and their place in a world ruled by ancient creatures and primal forces. Their quest will test their courage, forge unbreakable bonds, and reveal the true meaning of family in a land where only the strongest survive.
