The Beekeeper

After his daughter's wedding reception, Syros, a middle-aged school teacher, abruptly quits his job and leaves his family to take up his forefathers' vocation: bee-keeping. On his journey south along the migratory path with his bees, he encounters old friends and revisits his old haunts. One day, he chances upon a spirited young female hitch-hiker, who ends up sporadically joining him on his route. The legendary Marcello Mastroianni (8½) embodies the world of Angelopoulos' films in this acclaimed second work in the Trilogy of Silence.
