Cadiz, who lives in the remote mountains of Macedonia, is the last female bee-picker in Europe. Her life is miserable in the city: she has only an elderly and sick mother and a thin cat by her side. She is alone in the mountains where no one cares, but she still lives peacefully and calmly, because the wild bees she raises can always make up for her life. Life is not in a hurry or slow in time, talk to the old mother, and go to a far town to sell the newly produced pure natural high-quality honey. This is their peaceful life day after day. In order to obtain regular supplies from nature, Cadiz knows that honey harvesting must adhere to the golden rule of "take half, keep half". But a foreigner brought his wife and a large group of children into the relatively closed space of Cadiz's house, breaking the peaceful life of their mother and son. In order to get the most profit as soon as possible and maximize the income, this big family does not hesitate to use up the honey, the ecological environment of wild bees is destroyed, and there are fewer and fewer wild bees, which is not enough to feed greedy people. The big family had to leave to find another way out, and Kadis also sent away her mother. The mountain life can no longer be sustained. Natural disasters will eventually lead to human disasters. There will be natural revenge. There, the wild bees flew away, and Kadis became the last female bee-picker in Europe, and the harmony between man and nature came down scene by scene. And the only one left in the mountains is the mountains whimpering empty and sad.
