Full-length documentary
Lowland Kids
A family on Isle de Jean Charles watches as the climate crisis takes away their home. Over the years, we witness farewells, resilience, and life amid the realities of climate-induced displacement.
A documentary fairy tale about a farmer who rediscovers life’s joy through an unexpected friendship with a stork.
Set in the agricultural heartland of North Macedonia, one of the largest nesting grounds for white storks, the visually enchanting film weaves myth and reality. With farming in decline and few local opportunities, many families leave for work in Germany, leaving behind mostly older men and abandoned land. One day, farmer Nikola finds an injured stork, Siljan, and takes him in. A tender bond unfolds between two lonely beings, offering friendship, solace in isolation, and a renewed hope for life.
