Awesome!I saw this movie in the theatre on a whim. It had been out for a while and I decided that I wanted to watch a movie. I was bored. And it was the only one that looked good at the theatre where I was. So I got the ticket and went in. Man, am I glad that I did because it is now one of my all time favourite movies. I am a big fan of Dakota Fanning and she was amazing in this. All the actors were great in this. Especially the ladies. I even found myself, during a pretty sad moment, shedding a few tears.

Deutsch Die 14-Jährige Lily sucht gemeinsam mit ihrem farbigen Kindermädchen Rosaleen Unterschlupf bei den Boatwright-Schwestern in South Carolina. Auf der Flucht vor ihrem einsamen Leben und ihrem gewalttätigen Vater, sucht sie nach der Wahrheit um den Tod ihrer Mutter und hofft Antworten in dem kleinen Städtchen zu finden. Doch zunächst findet sie die Wärme und Herzlichkeit der Boatwright-Schwestern, die ihnen das Imkern zeigen, und ihnen einen Ort der Ruhe schenken.
Italiano Non ha certo tutte le sicurezze del mondo la piccola Lily che a 4 anni spara alla madre per errore ed è costretta a passare i seguenti 10 anni con un padre che non le vuole bene e non manca mai di farlo notare. Così quando la misura è colma scappa per intraprendere un viaggio alla scoperta delle proprie radici (sulle orme di uno simile fatto dalla madre) assieme alla sua badante di colore proprio nell'anno della firma della dichiarazione dei diritti civili per gli afroamericani. Ad accoglierla in un nuovo alveo familiare saranno tre sorelle di colore che producono miele, ma nonostante il benessere Lily imparerà che una cosa è firmare un pezzo di carta e una cosa è farlo diventare realtà.
Français Sud des États-Unis, fin des années 50. À l'heure du combat des Noirs pour l'égalité des droits civiques, c'est aussi le droit de vivre que défend la jeune Lily Owens quand, accompagnée de sa nounou noire Rosaleen, elle fuit un père alcoolique et violent pour se réfugier dans le domaine régi par la matriarche August Boatwright et ses deux sœurs. Dans cette ferme apicole, loin des turbulences du monde extérieur, Lily et Rosaleen vont enfin retrouver goût à la vie en lui donnant un parfum de miel et de soleil. Un havre de paix qui va aussi permettre à Lily de comprendre la tragédie qui la hante depuis sa plus tendre enfance...
Český Queen Latifahová a Dakota Fanningová vévodí hvězdnému hereckému obsazení amerického dramatu o rodině, nezávislosti a síle lásky, který byl natočen podle uznávaného bestselleru. Čtrnáctiletá Lily Owensová (Dakota Fanningová), ve snaze uniknout tvrdému, věčně rozzlobenému otci a vyrovnat se s tragickou smrtí své matky, uteče s afroamerickou chůvou, hospodyní a jedinou přítelkyní Rosaleen (Jennifer Hudsonová) do Tiburonu v Jižní Karolíně. Tam jí poskytnou přístřeší tři nezávislé sestry Boatwrightovy (Queen Latifahová, Alicia Keysová a Sophie Okonedová), které se samy starají o rodinné včelařství. Lily u nich konečně poznává život naplněný láskou, je zahrnována nečekanou laskavostí a hlubokou spiritualitou jedinečně nadaných žen a s každou z nich si vytváří pevné pouto. Někdy totiž člověk musí nejdřív domov opustit, aby ho mohl skutečně nalézt.

Onderweg ontmoeten zij drie zusters die imkers zijn en die het koppel met een warm hart ontvangen in hun huis. Daar zullen zij het geheim van de moeder van Lily waarschijnlijk kunnen onthullen.

Magyar A '60-as évek Amerikájában járunk. A 14 éves Lily Owens félárva. Édesapja, T. Ray nem sokat törődik egy szem gyermekével, kivéve akkor ha büntetni lehet őt valamiért. Lily édesanyja, Deborah egy szörnyű balesetben halt meg. Lily mindennek szemtanúja volt és sosem tudta ezt feldolgozni. Egyik nap, amikor Rosaleen a fekete házvezetőnőjük elindul hogy a szavazójegyzékbe vetesse magát, Lily elkíséri. Útjuk során beléjük kötnek helyi rasszisták, és az összetűzésből bebörtönzés és kegyetlenkedés kerekedik. Lilyt apja kihozza ugyan, de Rosaleenért nem hajlandó semmit sem tenni. Lily megszökik, és sikeresen kimenti Rosaleent is. Elindulnak kettesben, hogy Deborah nyomába eredjenek több mint 10 év távlatából. És amit három méhészkedéssel foglalkozó fekete nővér személyében találnak az áldás és öröm mindkettejük életében. Lily sokat megtanul az élet és a méhek dolgairól, és talán édesanyjáról is sikerül többet kiderítenie.

Women and men attend film schools in equal numbers, but women direct only 4% of top grossing feature films in the US. Why are women largely shut out of this prestigious, lucrative and culturally influential profession? High profile women directors including Ava DuVernay (A Wrinkle In Time), Lena Dunham (“Girls), Jill Soloway (“Transparent”), among others, offer candid, unfiltered and often humorous tales of their careers in Hollywood, while experts on gender inequality destroy the myths that have allowed discrimination in Hollywood to thrive. The entertainment industry has denied women’s voices for decades, but with a new Federal investigation into discriminatory hiring in Hollywood and a powerful movement toward equal representation gaining momentum, could this be the dawn of a new era?
A young African-American couple navigates the tricky paths of romance and athletics in this drama.

They have followed the game all their lives and have no small amount of talent on the court. As Quincy and Monica struggle to make their relationship work, they follow separate paths though high school and college and, they hope, into stardom in big-league professional ball. Starring Omar Epps (TV's "House"), Sanaa Lathan ("AVP: Alien vs. Predator"), Dennis Haysbert (TV's "The Unit," TV's "24") and Alfre Woodard (TV's "Miss Evers' Boys").
