Storkman - A tale of love, loss, and unwavering care across seasons
This poignant documentary is a tale of resilience, love, and devotion. It follows the touching relationship between Malena, a stork grounded for life after being shot, and Stjepan Vokić, the kind-hearted pensioner who has cared for her for nearly three decades.
Malena finds love with Klepetan, a stork who returns to her every spring, only to depart again for Africa each autumn. This documentary captures the cycle of joy and sorrow in their lives and delves into themes of companionship, loneliness, and the passage of time
