Nikola, a potato farmer in Macedonia is unable to either earn a living or sell his property, so he geta job at a garbage dump where he meets an injued stork and begins to nurse him.
One part documentary and one part narrative THE TALE OF SILYAN is a solid film that is more than just the tale of a man and his feathered friend. The film also deals with the story of Nkola's friends and family as well as the situation in Macedonia. There is a lot going on here so if you go into this film thinking you are just going to see one thing you are going to be surprised.
And you'll forgive me for not saying more but the fact that I am all documentaryied out with DOC NYC.
The film was at DOC NYC and is now playing in select theaters.
