A wondrous change is coming to a small Mex ican town. From the day that Nana Reja found a baby abandoned under a brid ge\, the life \;of \;a small Mexican town forever changed. Disfigu red and covered in a blanket \;of bees\, little Simonopio is for some locals the stuff \;of \;superstition\, a child kissed by the devil . But he is welcomed by landowners Francisco and Beatriz Morales\, who ado pt him and care for him as if he were their own.
\nAs he grows up\, Simonopio becomes a cause for wonder to the Morales family\, because when the uncannily gifted child closes his eyes\, he can see what no one else c an &mdash\; visions \;of \;all that's yet to come\, both beautiful and dangerous. Followed by his protective swarm \;of bees \;and l iving to deliver his adoptive family from threats &mdash\; both human and those \;of \;nature &mdash\; Simonopio's purpose in Linares will\, in time\, be divined.
\nSet against the backdrop \;of \;the Mexican Revolution and the devastating influenza \;of \;1918\, "T he \;Murmur of Bees" captures both the fate \;of \;a country i n flux and the destiny \;of \;one family that has put their love\, faith\, and future in the unbelievable.
