The Spirit of the Beehive

Overview

In a hushed Spanish village under the shadow of Franco's rule, a young girl's world of whispered fairytales and quiet wonder is irrevocably altered by a traveling cinema. When a fantastical film ignites her imagination, she embarks on a solitary quest to understand the profound mysteries of life, death, and the unseen forces that shape human existence. This haunting masterpiece unfolds with breathtaking visual poetry, exploring childhood innocence colliding with harsh adult realities through a child's deeply perceptive, yet unfathomable, gaze.
