A documentary fairy tale about a farmer who rediscovers the joy of living through an unlikely friendship with a stork.
This visually captivating film with mythological elements takes us to a farming region of North Macedonia, one of the white stork’s largest nesting areas. But agriculture is in decline and there are no other jobs locally, so families leave for Germany to earn a living. Older men with few prospects and land they cannot sell remain behind. One day, farmer Nikola finds an injured stork named Silyan and decides to care for him. A tender bond grows between two lonely beings, who find friendship, comfort and hope in each other.
