\u201cA marvel of symbiotic artistry…gracefully crafts another deftly poetic meditation on humanity\u2019s inextricable bond with the natural world…transform[ing] an observational documentary into an enchanting experience of love and healing, and ultimately, an emblem of resilience.\u201d \u2013 Barbara Goslawski, POV Magazine<\/p>\n
From National Geographic and Oscar-nominated director Tamara Kotevska (Honeyland) comes a poignant and visually arresting story set in the heart of rural Macedonia. Nikola, a farmer grappling with the harsh realities of new government policies, finds himself unable to sell his land or crops. When his family leaves in search of a better life abroad, Nikola takes a job as a landfill attendant, where he encounters the injured white stork Silyan. As he nurses the bird back to health, an unlikely bond forms between man and animal. The result is a deeply moving film that touches on climate change, economic migration, resilience and the quiet power of connection.<\/p>\n
