Spyros is a schoolmaster of late middle-age who, like his father before him, is also a beekeeper. Disenchanted and unfulfilled by his life, feeling himself an outsider in contemporary Greece, Spyros takes leave of his wife and grown children to embark on a solitary journey in search of the emerging springtime flowers for his cherished beehives. Moving from village to village, he encounters a young girl hitchhiker. She awakens in him feelings that start to become an obsession.
Theo Angelopoulos directs the great Marcello Mastroianni in this extraordinary and beautifully photographed tale of self-discovery. Angelopoulos sought to capture the human toll of the tragic legacy of 20th century Greek history. The result is a series of haunting, incisive, intimate, and deeply moving odysseys that navigate through consciousness, myth, and memory that the filmmaker describes as the trilogy of silence: the silence of history (Voyage to Cythera), the silence of love (The Beekeeper), and the silence of God (Landscape in the Mist).
