This Grand Prix winner - top award - at Cannes (2014) tells the story of a family of beekeepers trying to preserve traditional agricultural practices in rural Italy. It is a coming-of-age story for the eldest daughter, Gelsomina, who must navigate life with a rigid and principled father and his expectations of her, adolesence, identity, and budding romantic feelings. Like her other film being screened during the CRNH festival, La Chimera, here, too, one sees Rohrwacher’s signature blend of neorealism and magical realism. Both films also star Rohrwacher’s sister, Alba. Event Url
