Bright yellow clothes adorn the desolation of the Macedonian countryside, reflecting the golden color of wild honey jelly on the cliffs. Cadis is the last female beegatherer in Europe. She lives with her sick and semi-blind mother, depends on wild bees for a living, and adheres to the golden law of "take half and keep half". The nomadic family was suddenly deceived by not only the hustle and bustle of seven children and a group of livestock, but also the greed of frantically digging out honey and the unscrupulous destruction of the ecological environment. It took three years to watch the hidden life in which people and bees coexist harmoniously, reflecting the earth with natural sunrise and faint candles, and the beauty is admirable. Won the World documentary jury Award at the Sundance Film Festival.
