Summary
The last female bee-hunter named Hatidje lives with her sick mother and bees in an isolated Macedonian mountain village. Their difficult but harmonious coexistence is unexpectedly shook by the arrival of new neighbors. A large and vocal family, led by unscrupulous pater familias Hussein, settles their caravan next to Hatidje's stone house. A fascinating film that reflects the contemporary relationship between man and nature - his ruthless exploitation and neglect in the blind race to maximize profits.
