PLOT

Tell It to the Bees unfolds in a rural corner of 1952 Scotland. It’s one of those tightly-knit communities where privacy is unheard-of and everyone knows everyone else’s business. As long as a person plays by the rules, they are embraced. Lydia Weekes (Holliday Grainger) is an outsider branded as a harlot because she became pregnant before putting on a wedding ring. She has been trying to eke out a living in the hometown of her faithless husband, Robert (Emun Elliott), who has since left her and her son, Charlie (Gregor Selkirk), to fend for themselves. Her only friend is Robert’s free-spirited sister, Annie (Lauren Lyle), who rejects that town’s close-minded bigotry – a quality embodied by her humorless and authoritarian mother, Pam (Kate Dickie).

Enter Jean Markham (Anna Paquin), a doctor who has come home to take over the practice of her deceased father. When Jean departed many years ago, it was under a cloud of scandal after her sexual relationship with another woman was discovered and she was branded a “dirty dyke.” Her return is tolerated because the town needs a doctor. Some of her patients are glad that she’s a woman – they can confide ailments to her that they felt uncomfortable revealing to a man – but others regard her with skepticism, waiting for her to slip. Lydia and Jean, both round pegs in square holes, becomes closer after several coincidental encounters. When Lydia and Charlie are evicted from their home and Lydia loses her job at the local mill, Jean opens up her residence to the two, giving them a place to live and employing Lydia as a housekeeper. The mutual attraction is too strong to resist, however, and their platonic friendship becomes sexual. Although they try to be discreet, secrets are impossible to keep in a town like this and it’s not long before the slanderous gossip starts. .
