Eight-year-old Cocó doesn't fit in with other people's expectations, and doesn't understand why. Everyone around her insists on calling her Aitor, but she does not recognise herself in that name or in the gaze of others. Her mother Ane, who has sunk into a professional and emotional crisis, takes advantage of the holidays to travel with her three children to her maternal home, where her mother Lita and aunt Lourdes live, heavily involved in raising bees and making honey. That summer is to change their lives, forcing these women from three very different generations to face up to their doubts and fears.
