France, 2004, colour, 65 min.
Director: Peter Hoffmann
Director: Peter Hoffmann
The filmmaker’s off-screen voice tells us that the original subject of this film was beekeepers in Salamanca at their everyday work. And now the voice talks about photographs of a hazardous journey in Spain. It reveals the secrets without mystery of this companionship with these seasonal workers. In a melancholic diary marked by the forced idleness of a frustrated filmmaker unable to realise his project, with Bunuel in mind, he describes a landscape and the dull lifestyle of the people who live in it. Above all, he accomplishes the difficult task of giving an account of a friendship.
