\u201cWhere there are no bees on the Earth, the humanity has a mere four years left to live’, said Albert Einstein. Einstein’s quote inspired director Gyula Nemes to explore this possibility.<\/p>\n
Zero<\/em>, his second fiction feature, starts from this premise and explores the interdependency between bees and humanity using a variety of cinematic genres: melodrama, burlesque, comedy. The story is accompanied by the buzzing of bees and the sound of TV commentaries, and there is no filmed dialogue.<\/p>\n But the lack of dialogue is compensated with a rich plot. The story revolves around the manager of an artificial honey factory who gets to taste real honey, and as a result decides to quit his job, move to the forest and become a beekeeper. But his bees start dying radiated by a nearby mobile phone mast. Together with his lover he launches an attack on everything that kills the bees: GM farming, factories, motorways. They become notorious celebrities and their fight triggers a revolution.<\/span><\/p>\n Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you would have heard about the collapse of bees colonies worldwide. Zero<\/em> takes Einstein’s foresight and the current bees situation and runs with them in a playful daring cinematic display.
