Nikola, a farmer grappling with the harsh reality of new economic policies, is unable to sell his land or crops. When his family leaves in search of a better life abroad, he takes a job as a landfill attendant, where he encounters the injured white stork Silyan. As Nikola nurses the bird back to health, an unlikely bond forms between man and animal.
