Due to her father's opposition to the suitor, Hatiz, a Turkish woman who has always been single, and her mother who has been paralyzed for four years in the Macedonian desert have a cat and a dog, and three sisters have died. She picked honey from the cliffs and brought it to her mother to eat, and took the hives and hives home to raise them. Half of the honey she took out was sold in Skopje, and the other half was kept as food for the bees to keep them from dying. The city is welcome and life is livable. The RV brought the Turkish neighbors Hussain and the Liuwitt family, who have six children and dozens of cattle. Hatiz played with the neighbors' children, listened to the radio, listened to music, went on the swings with them, and her mother's legs improved. Hatiz taught his neighbors to keep bees, and the neighbors' family members had no respect or love for the bees. Due to greed, the neighbors did not leave half of the honey for the bees when they fetched honey. As a result, the bees in Hatiz's house were attacked by hungry bees. Hatiz moved the bees to the wild hive in the middle of the tree. The neighbors lied and burned the grass so that the bees had no food. The neighbor also destroyed Hatiz's wild hive because of greed. The idea of ​​leaving the place of sadness arises. The neighbor's cow died 50, and the neighbor finally moved out. The mother finally left, and Hatiz went to the edge of the cliff again to get honey.

It is a woman's nature to love beauty. She loves beauty. She sells honey to buy hair dye to dye her hair, buys fans and bananas for her mother, longs to have a husband and children, and sets up an antenna to listen to the music on the radio.

The local people's industry is very limited, and natural honey is one of the sources of livelihood that the local people can rely on, as is farming, which is obviously not easy.

Lighting with kerosene lamps at night. Use snow to get water. Obviously far from modern life. "There have been too many winters".

    There are only natural light, candlelight and flames, so the indoor pictures are especially like oil paintings. It is a solid life to rely on the mountains and the sea to eat the sea. In fact, the nomadic neighbors are also very interesting. In the face of survival, the measure of asking nature keeps losing defense. What's right or wrong? It's always like this.

    The documentary crew was so lucky that the presence of the nomadic neighbors breathed soul into the whole story. Whether it's a plane passing in the sky or a noisy neighbor who has a baby every year, it is a metaphor for a modern social way of life. Does the winner of the competition have to be good and beautiful? How to choose and judge, the moderation and balance brought by the lack of the primitive way of life, and the sense of lack brought by the expansion and temptation of desire in the modern way of life?
