This decades-spanning drama by filmmaker Juraj Jakubisko follows the lives of a Slovak family at the turn of the 20th century and in subsequent years. The first half of the film centers on small-town builder and beekeeper Martin Pichanda (Jozef Kroner) ; the second part focuses on his sons and the various changes in their country, including the arrival of World War I. While the family tries to find happiness and success, the turmoil of their surroundings makes these goals elusive.

Audience Member Who thought, after Bathory, that Jakubisko can't do historical movies, should watch this 3 hours long epic from Slovakian history. No moment of boredom or awkwa Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member A bizarre combination of genres and a plot which is not easily understood by those without knowledge of Slovakian history. Quite hilarious in parts, and mind-numbingly dull in others. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
