00:00Today we are making a resume of an adventure film from 2018 called Alfa.
00:0920,000 years ago, in prehistoric Europe, a small group of hunters led by their leader Tau
00:15prepared to attack the Krdostep bison.
00:17They create a wall of trenches that forces the bison to jump off the ledge,
00:21but three of them stay behind, and one bison follows Tau's son, Ked.
00:26After the wild boar hits him with its horns and pulls him to the edge of the ledge,
00:29Ked falls into a trance after Tau hits the bison with his spear.
00:33All of this begins a week earlier, when teenagers from the tribe test their skills in making spears.
00:39The only ones passing by are Ked and his friend Kapan,
00:42so they will be brought to the last hunting expedition before winter.
00:46As a part of the ritual, which now marks the adults, other men push them
00:50to find out that the boar will travel with them,
00:52and the local shaman blesses them with campfire.
00:55Later, while pretending to be asleep, Ked hears Tau's conversation with his mother, Rau.
01:00Rau doesn't think he's ready to hunt because he's guided by his heart, not by a spear,
01:04but Tau believes that Ked must learn his part and prove himself to the tribe.
01:08The next morning, the hunting group leaves after saying goodbye to their loved ones
01:12and receives the shaman's blessing.
01:14Rau even gives Ked an extra piece of bison as a sign of security.
01:18The group begins to travel to the next world in the trail left by their ancestors,
01:22who have made sculptures on the rocks that leave a trace,
01:25that is, hand-drawn pictures of them showing the direction they have to go to the hunting ground.
01:29During the journey, they come across another hunting group led by Ksi,
01:33Tau's old friend who recently lost his son.
01:36Both sides then begin to travel together.
01:39Whenever there is an opportunity, Ked tries to prove his power,
01:42but is unable to light a fire and cannot force himself to kill the boar
01:46that other men have captured, so he feels unsuccessful.
01:50One night, while eating with fire, they hear a noise behind them,
01:53so they quickly jump to a defensive position.
01:55Nothing appears, and they quickly give up, which is shown as a mistake,
01:58because the cave lion suddenly jumps out and blinds the cap,
02:01which he wears to feed on them.
02:03The next morning, the men build a stone statue
02:06to give the cap a commemoration,
02:08which symbolizes the passage of someone's spirit into the funeral life.
02:11The journey continues with stops only for hunting and rest.
02:15One evening, when they find a large and safe sleeping cave,
02:19Tau uses the opportunity to force Ked to tattoo a constellation just like him,
02:23and so he will always find his way home.
02:25It takes a lot of days, but in the end they find a trace of a depot
02:28that leads them to the steppe bison herd,
02:30which the story goes back to the beginning.
02:32As it falls, Ked tries to hold on to the rough edge of the cliff,
02:36but slips and falls to the far side,
02:38and when he falls, he breaks his leg and falls unconscious.
02:41Desperately trying to save his son,
02:43Tau tries to let him go,
02:45but his fellow hunters stop him,
02:47pointing out that it is too late.
02:49While the men bring sledges to carry the bison,
02:52Tau remains in the cliff, crying.
02:54Now that their hunt is divided into equal parts,
02:57Ksieva's party goes alone to return to their home,
03:00so Tau's group has the last night of camping
03:03before he convinces his leader that it's time to move on.
03:06The next morning, Tau builds another statue,
03:09while tears are still falling.
03:11Many hours after the group disappears,
03:13Lesinar lands on Ked and tries to feed on them.
03:16Tau forces him to wake up,
03:18and after pushing the bird away by grabbing its neck,
03:21he realizes the situation he's in.
03:23He pulls his broken leg behind him,
03:25and Ked tries to get down,
03:27but there are not enough rough edges for him to hold on to,
03:30and in the end he hangs there for a long, tortuous moment.
03:33Shortly after that, a storm comes
03:35and begins to flood the ground below him,
03:37so Ked makes up with what he has to do
03:39and lets go of his grip,
03:41and he goes down into the water and falls unconscious again.
03:44When he wakes up the next morning,
03:46the rain has stopped and the flood has disappeared.
03:49After drinking water from the barrel
03:51and tying his injured foot,
03:53Ked slowly returns to the top of the cliff,
03:55where he finds the statue his father left him.
03:57Ked is frustrated and shakes the statue
03:59when he realizes that he is alone
04:01and that he has to find his way home alone.
04:03Ked begins to travel alone.
04:05He feeds on bugs, fills his bag with water from the barrel,
04:08and safely sleeps away from the predator.
04:10When the herd of wolves finds him in the middle of the day,
04:13Ked runs back to the tree,
04:15attacking one of the wolves,
04:17but the wolf grabs him by the leg
04:19before he finally falls down safely.
04:21He stays at the top of the tree
04:23until the wolves are tired of waiting
04:25and everyone leaves except the one who Ked hurt.
04:27He prepares a spear to turn him over,
04:29but he can't force him to do so,
04:31so instead he decides to ignore him.
04:33But Ked can't do that either,
04:35because the pain of the wolf's sting is too much for him.
04:37Ked calls for help,
04:39and he ties his ear so that the wolf wouldn't bite him,
04:41raises the wolf and carries him to the lake
04:43to clean his wound.
04:45Unfortunately, they can't rest there
04:47because they are near the hyenas,
04:49so Ked carries the wolf again
04:51until they find a shelter in the cave
04:53where they can sleep safely.
04:55The next morning, Ked finds a bowl
04:57near the herd of bones
04:59and uses it to make a plant meal
05:01that he puts on his foot
05:03while the wolf manages to free himself.
05:05The wolf finally accepts Ked's offer
05:07after a lot of fighting.
05:09Ked cleanses his wounds with the rat
05:11that his mother gave him
05:13and shares the blood he found with the wolf.
05:15But the blood is not enough,
05:17so Ked finally braves for his first catch,
05:19that is, he kills the rabbit with a stone
05:21and even manages to light a fire
05:23to bake it.
05:25The wolf tries to take the rabbit,
05:27but Ked quickly pushes him away,
05:29remembering the lesson about leadership
05:31that his father taught him.
05:33No matter how much he shared with him,
05:35the wolf still doesn't let him touch him.
05:37Winter is coming
05:39and Ked has to find his way home
05:41before the snow starts to fall,
05:43but he thinks he won't be able to do it without his father,
05:45but he still has to try.
05:47After he has collected enough food
05:49and fought with the wolf to get his rat back,
05:51Ked leaves the cave and starts to lead him back,
05:53feeling frustrated
05:55because the wolf will not stop following him
05:57no matter how many times he tells him to go.
05:59Ked gives up and accepts the wolf
06:01as a friend on the journey,
06:03even training him to come when he whines.
06:05Their first attempts of a joint hunt
06:07have completely failed,
06:09but after several attempts,
06:11he managed to find a way to synchronize his attacks
06:13and without too much effort to get to the victim.
06:15At night, Ked checks again
06:17if they are going in the right direction
06:19using a tattoo with a star on his hand,
06:21and the wolf begins to sleep next to him,
06:23even allowing him to touch him
06:25now that he has lost his trust.
06:27After a few days spent in the lake
06:29Ked decides to give the wolf the name Alfa.
06:31Their journey lasts so long
06:33that winter finally arrives
06:35and the snow begins to fall.
06:37One evening while they were eating in the hut,
06:39a pack of wolves came to them
06:41for which it turned out that they were Alfa's family.
06:43Knowing how much he missed his loved ones,
06:45Ked tells Alfa to come with them
06:47and now he is left to continue the journey alone.
06:49As time goes by,
06:51snowstorms become more and more frequent,
06:53so Ked has difficulty moving forward every day,
06:55especially when he dreams of his father
06:57who comes home and delivers bad news
06:59to his mother.
07:01After a few days of walking through another storm,
07:03he comes across Alfa and her herd,
07:05but when he runs towards them,
07:07the ice breaks under his feet
07:09and he falls into the ice water.
07:11While his mother and most of his equipment
07:13are floating in the water,
07:15Ked hits the ice with a knife
07:17and manages to break it enough
07:19for Alfa to pull him out.
07:21The two of them start traveling together again,
07:23and later that night,
07:25after they have advanced a few more miles,
07:27they find traces of footprints
07:29that lead to a pond, but unfortunately,
07:31the owner froze to death.
07:33There is no food, but Ked...
07:35Unfortunately, there is no food,
07:37but Ked grabs an arrow for a hunt,
07:39ignoring Alfa's concern
07:41when he suddenly starts to cough up blood.
07:43A little later, a duo is found between the rocks
07:45and a large stone, and hyenas follow them,
07:47but it is very dangerous to rush in front of them,
07:49so they run until they find a cave
07:51where they can hide.
07:53The cave is not empty, the cave lion
07:55is there and does not hesitate to attack.
07:57Alfa fights fiercely with him,
07:59while Ked puts the arrow on his bow,
08:01concentrating on hitting the right target.
08:03He manages to kill the lion and save Alfa,
08:05who comes out badly wounded from the fight.
08:07When he returns to a very slow journey
08:09among the snowy meadows,
08:11he finds a sculpture that means the holy road,
08:13so Ked knows that they are surely close,
08:15more than he himself knows.
08:17With only a little strength,
08:19gained from the eye's faith in him,
08:21Ked wakes up and takes Alfa again,
08:23carrying him through the meadow
08:25until he finally returns to his tribe.
08:27No one can believe what they see,
08:29and Tau cries and tells his son
08:31how proud he was of him before he took him
08:33and Vuk to the tent to be taken care of.
08:35After Ked is taken out and fed,
08:37the shaman looks over Alfa
08:39and quickly realizes what the problem is.
08:41Alfa is actually female and will just have a baby.
08:43All babies are born safe and healthy,
08:45and the tribe greets them as part of the family.
08:47Years later,
08:49when the babies become real adult wolves,
08:51they share with the hunters as partners
08:53and go to the next big hunt before winter.
