The Tale of Silyan

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.

'A lyrical and gorgeously lensed documentary hybrid that explores the interconnection between humans, animals and nature' - Alissa Simon, Variety
