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 the man and animal. The result is a deeply moving film that touches on climate change, economic migration, resilience and the quiet power of connection.

The film will be introduced by Heiko Kruusi, nature education specialist and biologist at Tallinn Zoo.
