Screenings

In a rural farmhouse in Umbria, a family of beekeepers lives by its own rules, striving to preserve a pastoral utopia on the margins of the contemporary world. The arrival of a “troubled” boy and a television competition celebrating the most “authentic” farms disrupt the fragile balance of the family and their connection to the land they inhabit. Through Gelsomina’s gaze, the film captures the fading of a particular rural world and the emergence of new desires, as different languages intertwine with the landscape and the relationships that shape it.
