| How does this production embrace sustainability?: | This experimental project is a visual figure of speech that compares bees to humans, bringing up, through parallelism, the current problem of exploitation of the planet (which is causing the extinction of important animals such as bees) and people in modern society (dehumanizing them and locking them in "concrete hives"). This documentary invites viewers to open their eyes to this issue and aims to raise awareness of their personal relationship with nature and society. |
| Synopsis: | The difficult and suffering experience of Vittorio, a Sicilian beekeeper, becomes an experimental portrait of the modern world where nature is overpowered by an increasingly alienated society. Unsustainable rhythms, dehumanizing, leading to a chaos that makes people "bees imprisoned in concrete hives," causing them to lose connection with planet earth and the life it offers us. Are we taking steps backward? |
