After history Professor John Oldman unexpectedly resigns from the University, his startled colleagues impulsively invite themselves to his home, pressing him for an explanation. But they're shocked to hear his reason for premature retirement: John claims he must move on because he is a 14,000 year old caveman, and cannot stay in one place for more than ten years without his secret being discovered. Tempers rise and emotions flow as John's fellow professors attempt to poke holes in his story, but it soon becomes clear that his tale is as impossible to disprove as it is to verify. What starts out as a friendly gathering soon builds to an unexpected and shattering climax.
MUCH more to it than that. it's a highly captivating movie . . . even had my cousin's attention, who has the attention span of a squirrel on crack
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0756683/ for reviews and some information on it . . .
i HIGHLY suggest you watch it if you're a fan of true scifi, the kinds that make you think. outer limits being the only one i can think of at the present moment.

a quote from one of the characters which i find hilarious
"Edith, I was raised on the Torah, my wife on the Qu'Ran, my eldest son is an Atheist, my youngest is a scientologist, my daughter is studying Hinduism, I imagine there is room there for a holy war in my living room, but we practice live and let live. "
if only everyone could think like that
