Sagnet om Silyan

A moving documentary from the Oscar-nominated director of “Honeyland”

Farmer Nikola is hit by political reforms and struggles to sell both his crops and his land. When his family moves abroad in search of a better life, he is left alone and takes a job at a garbage dump. There he meets the injured white stork Silyan. Nikola takes the stork home and nurses it until it recovers, and an unexpected friendship develops between the man and the stork.

“The Tale of Silyan” is a visually striking tale from the heart of the North Macedonian countryside, made by the Oscar-nominated director of “Honeyland.” A gripping story of loss, family, friendship and the consequences of climate change.
