Deep in the quiet countryside of Åmotfors, Värmland, beekeeper Olof has built a silent existence around loss. Decades after losing his partner, all he has left is his teenage daughter Lise—a girl restless to break free from their small world. Olof desperately wants to connect with her, but grief has kept them locked in years of unspoken distance. That fragile wall shatters when Olof suddenly falls ill, forcing him to finally face everything he’s buried. With tender precision, Marcus Carlsson explores life’s shifting seasons, revealing how the delicate space between people can carry both heartbreak and hope.
