As the title.

The countryside is not as beautiful as imagined, nor is it so bad. The kind-hearted Hadiz is alone, her mother is dying, and she lives on a sick bed all day long; she gathers honey and raises bees, and is extremely empathetic for the gift of nature, but she was shocked by a large family of immigrants who had moved in temporarily, and her already fragmented life. . The only point of harmony in life-the part that comes from coexisting with nature-has also been changed beyond recognition by profit-seeking merchants and family-oriented peasant neighbors. Lonely, painful, so unfair...

The documentary must have accumulated material for a long time before it can cut a film that turns from a plain plot to a full tension. For these shocks, it has not been overly strengthened, and it is still the way life is.

The crew must have known that Hadiz's mother was about to pass away. Fortunately, the filming "struck" until this moment, but fortunately, it didn't add up to it, but it still directly presented our sorrows in the plot. It doesn't have to be this way, but it is understandable.
