When 8-year-old Coco begins to question her gender identity, the transition places a strain on her family. But after they travel to visit beekeeping relatives in a sleepy village in the Basque country of Spain and France, the family begins to explore their relationship with one another and come to terms with their own identities. About 20,000 Species of Bees, writer Mark Kermode of Sight and Sound said “[the film is a] warmly humanist and deeply empathetic first feature… announcing the arrival of a bold new filmmaking voice.”
