The Lady of the bees

Na Tassadit and Dani Martinez, Kabylie, Algeria (picture by stebaraz, 2007)

Na Tassadit is an old artist who is trying to preserve the tradition of berber women to paint scenes about bees and nature on the inner walls of berber houses.

Young generations are not interested in preserving the tradition, but Na Tassadit receives the help of Denis Martinez, an energic Spanish-Algerian artist.

And - as she finishes to explain to the audience her story - she jumps into Dani's arms and she starts crying.
