Bee Season is a 2005 feature film based on the 2000 novel by Myla Goldberg. 11-year-old Eliza Naumann comes from an odd family. They all divert their emotional frustrations into secret channels. When Eliza unexpectedly begins winning spelling bees, what had been a stable dynamic within the family becomes disrupted: long held secrets emerge and a latent spiritual yearning is awakened in her withdrawn father Saul and compulsive mother Miriam. As Eliza moves closer and closer to the national spelling bee, the Naumann family finds itself in a spiral of surprising discovery and jarring uncertainty.
