About Tale of Silyan

From the Oscar nominated director of Honeyland comes a poignant and visually arresting story set in the heart of a rural farming community.

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 for a better life abroad, Nikola takes a job as a landfill assistant, 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.
