Synopsis
Day of the Bees celebrates passion and creativity as it explores the links between love and violence, art and war, and reveals the sacrifices made for love--of person and country. An American art historian is seeking to discover why the famous painter Zermano abandoned his beautiful muse Louise during World War II. Visiting Louise's cottage in Provence after her death, the scholar finds letters that carry across a panoramic landscape of fifty years and piece together a tempestuous affair with tragic conclusions., Day of the Beescelebrates passion and creativity as it explores the links between love and violence, art and war, and reveals the sacrifices made for love'of person and country.
