A remote mountain village in the Republic of Macedonia, a touch of orange and yellow dotted this tranceful corner of oblivion.
As a female bee picker, Kadice is stationed in this mountainous area, and her mother, who is nurtured and ill in bed by nature, lives hard here.
If we only come here, we will only regard it as a documentary that insists on inheriting the "old craftsmanship" to collect honey, but the director has used more than a thousand hours of footage to make this documentary into this shocking and aesthetic feature film.
On the cliffs and in the bee cave, Hades gently brought the beehive back and carefully placed it in the wall near her home. She did not use the beehive but kept the original way of life of the bees as far as possible.
She is grateful and grateful for nature's gift to her, and at the same time she also gives back, giving back to nature's gift to her. Regardless of the amount of honey, she will take half, leaving the remainder to the bee, and she will also make an appointment with the queen bee when fetching honey. Because Hades understands that "there is no forbidden, inexhaustible use, is the endless hiding of the fittest" is wrong, there is nothing that can be obtained without restriction.
But the arrival of the nomadic family broke Hades’s original peace. The father in the family only knew unlimited requests, wanted a lot of honey, and wanted to break Hades’s original rules that had been negotiated with nature. Cut out all the bees in the forest and put them into the hives, not to mention the tradition of taking half and putting them in half. Hades asked her mother with difficulty, can you think about when spring comes, her mother answered, is there spring? This is how desperate a long-lived farmer and herder can say such a thing. Unexpectedly, the kindly teaching of beekeeping to his neighbors caused him to be wiped out. Hades' bees died one after another, but the neighbors always disagreed.
In the end, the nomad family was gone, and my mother was gone. Hades sat on the mountain with her family, one person and one dog. At this time, watching them happily cuddling each other, I was really moved.
The whole documentary was in awe of nature, and seeing Hades kissing her mother, her bees dying one after another, and her optimism selling her own honey in the market made me cry. She is such a pure-hearted person. She will save the bees in the water and help pick up the tortoises in the pond. She cherishes every life and she also cherishes herself. "I am the beautiful mother who all want to dress themselves up", and may be poor. Buy a hair dye cream, but even then she knows it has everything. In contrast, aren't we more like that father, for a little benefit, causing irreparable losses, and even after heavy losses, we chose to blame each other. Is it really like our ancients said, "There is no forbidden, inexhaustible use. It is the endless hiding of the fittest, and the common fit of me and my son"? But most people don’t know the first half of the sentence, “Between the world and the earth, everything has its own owner, and I don’t own it, even if I don’t take it.” Nothing is desirable, we are just going too far in the infinite nature of demand.
