bees
Some place that’s green. Some time when things are different.
Niamey brings her son, The Boy, to her family’s now abandoned summer home in Maine. The Boy starts stealing from the dusty liquor cabinet. The Neighbor has a gun. She shoots foxes when they eat her chickens. A beekeeper named Tim is raising bees, helping them hold on. When The Boy drunkenly destroys a precious bee hive, he incurs a debt to the beekeeper.
The Bees is an unconventional summer romance about facing fear, the forest, and the road that is a snake devouring itself.
