Sinopsis
Early Balkan footage.
En sus 200.000 años de existencia, el hombre ha roto el equilibrio de casi 4.000 millones de años de evolución de la Tierra. El precio a pagar es considerable, pero es demasiado tarde para ser pesimistas. A la humanidad le quedan diez años escasos para invertir la tendencia, concienciarse de la explotación desmesurada de las riquezas de la Tierra y cambiar el modo de consumo. Yann Arthus-Bertrand, con sus imágenes inéditas de más de 50 países vistos desde el cielo, compartiendo con nosotros su capacidad de asombro y también sus preocupaciones, coloca, con esta película, una piedra en el edificio que tenemos que reconstruir, todos juntos.
Tres trágicas historias de amor que se entrelazan para ilustrar los efectos devastadores de la guerra y de aquellos que, sin quererlo, se han visto obligados a participar en ella. Dos de los relatos están ambientados en Macedonia, que se encuentra al borde de la guerra civil, y el otro se sitúa en Londres.
Documental sobre la última mujer recolectora de abejas de Europa. Hatidze es una mujer cerca de la cincuentena de un pequeño pueblo en Macedonia que cría colonias de abejas en unos cestos hechos a mano que deja escondidos entre las rocas. Sin protección ni ayuda, es capaz de amansarlas para poder extraer la miel y venderla en la capital. Todo es idílico hasta que, de repente, nuevos vecinos se instalan cerca de las colmenas, estorbando su paz y la de sus abejas. Así como las abejas obreras pasan toda su vida cuidando de la abeja reina, Hatidze ha comprometido su propia vida al cuidado de su madre, con la que vive en una cabaña. La intrusión de los recién llegados, una familia con siete niños ruidosos acompañados de 150 vacas, provocará un conflicto que podría destruir la forma de vida de Hatidze para siempre.
