In the depths of pushcha, an ancient woodland, Ignat the beekeeper tends
bees in beehives up in the trees, just as his father, grandfather, and
their forefathers did. People say that Ignat gets everything he needs
from the forest, that he knows every backwood and passage in the
pushcha, that he talks with animals and trees... Even though Ignat lives
in a world outside time, does not know and wishes not to know what year
it is, the course of history does not slow down. The peaceful life
according to old lore is abruptly interrupted. Pushcha falls into the
hands of new owners who see the forest only as a source of income from
selling thousands of pine and oak trees. However, Ignat will not rest
until the slightest chance remains to save the forest and preserve the
thousand-year-old tradition. It is his pushcha.
