This film showcases the fight of Mayan communities against global companies like Monsanto/Bayer for them to keep their beekeeping ancestral heritage.
After millions of bees suddenly died in the state of Campeche, Mexico, the Mayan beekeeping communities and their representatives decided to organize to find the cause and confront the authorities and the transnational company Monsanto, who have put their subsistence in danger by the sowing transgenic soy in their territory.

This movie is preceded by a short animated film titled The Cosmic Twins, by Alejandro Voorduin. The short film tells the story of the brothers Hun and Vucub Hunahpú, who shake the universe playing ball. The theme of Cosmic Twins is based on one of the passages of the Popol Vuh that delves into the emergence of the world and the creation of man.
