"So it’s a story about a struggling mother, a medical doctor who sympathises with her and how they navigate their relationship in 1950s Scotland. Unsure if I liked it, but the setting is so dreamy and the bees are absolutely amazing. There’re a couple of triggering scenes so watch out for that if you need to. "

"A really nice wlw period piece with a bittersweet ending. It does go into some pretty dark places, so if you need content warnings be sure to look them up before (I went into this blind and had to take a couple of breaks while watching)"
