What if bees, to escape from the extermination they are suff ering due to terrible pollution, were to find a refuge and delicious nectar in the high mountains, far from insecticides and toxic smoke? This is the story of a little bee whose voyage to the mountains is inspired by a grandfather’s fable: an animated story that tackles, with delicacy and irony, the weighty theme of environmental pollution and the consequent dying off of pollinating insects thatare essential to everyone’s lives.
