DEU
Cocó, acht Jahre alt, passt nicht zu den Erwartungen ihrer Umgebung und versteht nicht, warum sie darauf bestehen, sie Aitor zu nennen. Sie erkennt sich selbst nicht in diesem Namen oder im Blick der anderen. Ihre Mutter Ane, die sich in einer tiefen beruflichen und emotionalen Krise befindet, nutzt die Ferien, um mit ihren drei Kindern in das Familienhaus zu reisen, in dem ihre Mutter und ihre Tante als Imkerin leben. Dieser Sommer wird ihre Leben verändern und die Frauen dreier sehr unterschiedlicher Generationen zwingen, sich mit ihren Zweifeln und Ängsten auseinanderzusetzen.


ENG

Cocó, eight years old, does not fit the expectations of those around her and does not understand why they insist on calling her Aitor. She does not recognize herself in this name or in the eyes of others. Her mother Ane de ella, who is in a deep professional and emotional crisis, takes advantage of the holidays to travel with her three children to the family house where her mother and her beekeeper aunt live. This summer will change their lives and force women from three very different generations to face their doubts and fears.

CAT

Cocó, de vuit anys, no encaixa amb les expectatives del seu entorn i no entén per què insisteixen a dir-li Aitor. No es reconeix en aquest nom ni en la mirada dels altres. La seva mare Ane, que es troba en una profunda crisi professional i sentimental, aprofita les vacances per viatjar amb els seus tres fills a la casa familiar on viu la seva mare i la seva tieta apicultora. Aquest estiu canviarà les seves vides i obligarà a les dones de tres generacions molt diferents a enfrontar-se als seus dubtes i temors.
