A farmer grappling with poverty takes an injured white stork under his wing, in this visually arresting part-documentary / part-fable from the Oscar®-nominated director of Honeyland.

In the fields of Macedonia, faced with the harsh realities of new government policies, farmer Nikola finds himself unable to sell his land or crops. As his family leaves in search of a better life abroad, he takes a job as a landfill attendant, where he rescues an injured stork.

As he nurses Silyan back to health, an unlikely bond emerges between man and animal. The result is a deeply moving, beautifully shot film that touches on climate change, economic migration, resilience and the quiet power of connection.
