Neanderthal
Fedor is a famous MMA champion who lost not only his reputation in the sports world, but also his family due to uncontrolled aggression. To change, he decides to go to Altai, but is accidentally transported to the primitive world 10,000 years before BC. The local aborigines mistake him for a warrior who will help them defeat their sworn enemy. Fedor understands that he is a weakling among the aborigines, so in the struggle it is necessary to use not force, but cunning and the ability to negotiate. Together with the shaman's daughter Reba, he goes to his main goal – to return home.
