"23.10 Tässä ajassa missä saan kirjoitettua kappaleen harkitsematonta tajunnanvirtaa yksityiseen elokuvapäivyriini, Juri Nummelin on kirjoittanut kirjan, puhumattakaan kuinka monta hän on toimittanut. Mehiläispesän Henki liikkuu sodanaikaisen Epsanjan maaseudulla peltojen yllä. Perhe asuu mehiläispesämäisessä haciendassa. Kyläkinossa pyöritetään Frankensteinia, jonka hirviö vaeltaa pikkutytön päiväuniin. Kaiken yllä sadun, unen hento harso."
