Synopsis

Spoiler shield

This movie depicts the life of a small Indian tribe, in a time shortly before the white men became a threat. In the focus of the story is the young Skywalker, who woos cute Morning Sun, but can't seem to convince her father of his qualities. When the outcast Kayowa attack the camp, he hopes for an opportunity to impress him.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
