1991 television film adaptation of Sidney Sheldon's 1970 novel The Naked Face.

The story of the Siberian Zavarzin family, which has long lived by bee trade. After an incomprehensible virus entered the hives one day, accusations between two neighboring farms reached the intensity of a real war. After all, if there are no bees, then there is no life, and you have to go to the city. The village began to empty before our eyes. The disintegration also occurs within the Zavarzin family: the eldest son gets drunk, the middle one is going to emigrate, the younger one goes crazy, the uncle rages with fat, not knowing where to put his money. And nothing can unite the once strong family anymore.

Part 2 of the duology, a continuation of the film God's Gift. The thirst for power is the root of much evil. It may seem that money can buy everything—but not happiness or faith in God. Goodness and love must prevail, and they do, no matter how powerful evil may be.
