Apetta is a young worker bee who dreams of having a name, just like the ones human children have. She wants to be called Giulia. But her destiny is to work in the great beehive, leading an exhausting and unfortunately short life. The Queen Bee, who’s an expert “manager”, notices the frequent protests of the young little bee. The Queen decides that every night she will tell her little worker bee a series of fairy stories about the lives of human beings. The main characters are Simone and Sarah, whose whole lives, from birth to old age, are encompassed in these stories. As the days go by and the lives of the humans in the story progress, the little bee, Giulia, slowly becomes older and more tired. The tales of the wise Queen Bee come to an end, and finally the little bee Giulia, who is very old by now, understands that the sense of all existence is to accept life and death as equally beautiful moments in an unique journey….
