In a rural, unspoiled landscape, an elderly woman named Hatidze lives as a nomadic beekeeper, practicing her unique craft and sustaining herself through the bounties of nature. She's the last remaining female beehunter in Europe, dedicated to maintaining the delicate balance between humans and bees by following a simple rule: take half of the honey, but leave enough for the bees themselves.However, this equilibrium is threatened when a nomadic family with dreams of modernization sets up their livelihood nearby. Ignorant of Honeyland's ancient wisdom, they overharvest from the hives, exploiting the bees to sell honey and make a quick profit. Hatidze watches in dismay as her natural world begins to unravel before her eyes.Determined to save the bees and restore the natural balance, Hatidze embarks on an emotional journey of resistance and resilience. Through her struggles with her new neighbors, we witness a poignant exploration of humanity's complex relationship with nature and our responsibility towards the planet. It's a story that reminds us of the importance of preserving ancient traditions while facing the challenges of modernity.
