At the bottom of Hanyuan valley in Sichuan province of China, bees are going extinct due to extensive use of pesticides and monocultures. In this lush landscape that hides an ecosystem on the brink of collapse, three farming families work hard in the field worrying about their children's future.

Cao, Jingjing and Ye are shown in relation to nature. Their stories reveal a universal human conflict – the difficulty to choose between your dear ones’ immediate needs and the bigger picture, the well-being of planet and mankind itself.
