In the countryside between the regions of Tuscany and Umbria, 12-year-old Gelsi lives with her parents, Angelica and Wolfgang, and three younger sisters. They are a family of bee-keepers. But the modern world is encroaching upon their way of life, with new laws requiring changes to their outdated ‘laboratory’, whilst around them the countryside is being burnt by pesticides. Can their way of life survive in the modern world? 2014 Tempesta SRL / AMKA Film Productions/Pola Pandora Filmprouktions GmbH
