20,000 Species of Bees | Dir Estibaliz Urresola Solaguren | 2023 | 2h 9 min | Spain | Drama / World Cinema | Spanish and Basque (English Subtitles) | 12A | Captioned Screening
A poignant debut feature from director Estibaliz Urresola Solaguren, 20,000 Species of Bees centres around a mother-and-child quest for identity during their summer in the Basque Country.
