"We've lost the ability to feel life" is the pain point the film appeals to.

The film tells the psychological formation process of the little girl Anna: personal contact with the outside world, experience of others, self-recognition, and self-selection.

The whole film is almost depressingly slow, which can make people restless, thinking about this rhythm as everyone perceives the world as they grow up.

The little protagonist Anna restores the innocence of childhood, the unknown and curiosity about the world, the insensitivity and doubts about the perception of the world, and the persistence and fearlessness of the truth.

The Spirit of the Beehive quotes

  • Isabel: Papa, have you ever picked a bad mushroom?

    Fernando: No. You know why?

    Isabel: Why?

    Fernando: Because I always do like my grandfather told me.

    [he gets up and starts to walk; the girls follow]

    Fernando: If you're not sure a mushroom's good, don't pick it. Because if it's bad, and you eat it, it's your last mushroom and your last everything too.

  • [last lines]

    Isabel: It's me, Ana... It's me, Ana...
