Summary: This movie is about a young white girled named Lily who is living under the roof of her abusing and cruel white father. He tells her that her mother walked out on her and left her to die when she was only but 2 years old or so. Lily runs away with her nanny, Rosaleen. Rosaleen is a black woman who was always getting beaten by the father. Lily, unsure of where to head off to, decides to run away to find the hidden trace of her mother. She keeps a picture of her mother at a honeybee reservation and traces the steps to the pink house of Miss August Boatwright and her two sisters. Lily and Rosaleen ask to stay and end up having a home of shelter, working in the house and with the beehives, clothes, food, and open hearts for love. This movie is set in the times where blacks were undermining the whites and it was hard to earn freedom. The message of the story can come in all kinds of different ways.
-Love comes in all diffent shapes and sizes. There's not one perfect love.
-This world is just like the hive of a busy bee. We're so much into what we're doing, our jobs, our families, that we don't see much of what's going on around us and who's taking care of us.
I would recommend this movie to anyone who feels unloved, threatened because of their outer exterior, or just wants to be unbordified (not a word haha).
