Synopsis:

After decades of abandonment, a village in the Pyrenees begins to come back to life as a family of beekeepers settles there in search of a simpler, more sustainable way of living. But the arrival of an industrial beekeeper and the spread of wildfires threaten their project, forcing them to ask: is it worth fighting for a way of life that may be disappearing?
