Summary

A fast-moving dramatic comedy, Cradle of Man is set in Africa near Olduvai Gorge, the birthplace of mankind, where two American couples meet and their comedic, romantic, and existential crises are exposed. Facades crack under the sub-equatorial sun to reveal the evolution of the human heart, as lives come apart and bodies come together in this extraordinary place; where the drama of what makes us human – and humane – plays out on a daily basis. And where survival of the fittest means only one couple will survive.
