Synopsis
An adorable young "cave" boy named Gus and his powerful hunter father Don live a cold and isolated life high in the Swiss Alps, banished by their disgruntled tribe because of Gus' chronic explosive flatulence. His flatus is so insidious it repels entire herds and spoils food from afar. Despite all this, his father stands by him until one day, reaching breaking point, he sends Gus out into the cold and unforgiving mountainside to protect their food, a decision that would change life forever...
