Nestled in an isolated mountain region deep within the Balkans, Hatidze Muratova lives with her ailing mother in a village without roads, electricity and running water. She is the last in a long line of wild beekeepers, eking out a living farming honey in small batches to be sold in the closest city--a mere four hours' walk away.

Hatidze's peaceful existence is thrown into upheaval by the arrival of an itinerant family, with their roaring engines, seven rambunctious children and a herd of cattle. Hatidze optimistically meets the promise of change with an open heart, it does not take long, however, before a conflict evolves, that exposes the fundamental tension between nature and humanity, harmony and discord, exploitation and sustainability.
