Martel’s brilliant debut takes place in the hot and humid summer of Argentina. We're thrown into the tragicomic life of a bourgeois family , who wile away the days doing a copious amount of day drinking to combat the heat. Martel confidently bucks the more traditional narrative structure, leaving you marinating in the comings and goings of a decaying family. Fluid cinematography combines with genuine performances, luring you into this sticky cinematic marvel.
This moving story is set in the South in the mid-sixties. Accompanied by her caregiver, a young girl called Lily flees her abusive father to take refuge with the Boatwright sisters. This self-sufficient family of gifted African American women invite her into their sublime world of beekeeping. Not only do they teach her about life, she soon discovers that they hold the key to her mother’s past. The stellar cast is headed up by Queen Latifah and Alicia Keys.
