Synopsis

Nestled in an isolated mountain region deep within the Balkans, Hatidze Muratova lives with her ailing mother in a village without roads, electricity or running water. She’s the last in a long line of Macedonian 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 herd of cattle. Hatidze optimistically meets the promise of change with an open heart, not knowing that their arrival may change her way of life forever. Directed by Ljubomir Stefanov and Tamara Kotevska, Honeyland features cinematography by Fejmi Daut and Samir Ljuma, and an original score by Foltin.
