The Ailing Queen (La Reine Malade)| 1hr : 32mins
Director: Pascal Sanchez | Producer: Hugo Latulippe
Focus Years: 2010 | Country: Canada
Synopsis:
At dusk in a remote part of the high Laurentians, a man works, collecting beehives. Nightfall brings a soft curtain down on the day’s labour. The beekeeper, Anicet Desrochers, a man strongly devoted to his calling, is worried. Bees, indispensable to the balance and continuation of the ecosystem, are dying in countless numbers - and nobody understands exactly why. The Americas, Europe, Asia ... every continent has been hit by bee colony collapse. No place on earth is spared. Following Anicet and his family in their daily round through the changing seasons in their small corner of Québec, viewers discover both an age-old craft and an unfolding disaster that is still largely absent from public awareness, but whose consequences threaten bee colonies and the very foundations of agriculture. "Rather than adopt an apocalyptic tone, this fine piece of consciousness-raising cinema observes Desrochers working through the seasons to strengthen his colonies and spread the word about his methods. A celebration of agriculture, beekeeping and science."
