The film follows Nikola, who is at risk of losing his land, income and family due to changing circumstances and policy. When he tends to an injured white stork, a special bond develops. The encounter reconnects him with nature and gives him hope and a sense of connection.
Admission is free, but please register in advance to secure your place. Further information and the registration link can be found on the Theater op Zolder website. The film starts at 8.00 pm; doors open at 7.30 pm.
