Matko, a 72-year-old beekeeper, fights to protect his bees and the land around them from a pragmatic official. Their conflict is where ideals meet survival: Matko's faith in renewal set against the official's focus on the price humanity pays. What follows is a tragic confrontation about loss and hope, while a quiet moment hints at the resilience of nature and the possibility of new beginnings in a world shaped by modern pressures.
