Il film racconta la toccante vicenda di un allevatore di api. Il caos del conflitto turco-curdo gli ha preso tutto: la moglie e i figli, la patria e i più di 500 popoli di api con i quali si guadagnava da vivere. Gli sono rimasti solo l'amore per l'apicoltura e un'incrollabile fiducia negli esseri umani. Dopo una lunga ed estenuante odissea, l'uomo arriva in Svizzera, dove grazie alle api riscopre il gusto della vita.
