Der alte Mann und der Storch

L’histoire

Résumé en anglais

On the unspoilt banks of the Save River lies the Lonjsko Polje Nature Park. Numerous species have made this green setting their home. But the star of the region is the white stork. Some villages have more than two nests per rooftop, and the cohabitation between man and beast generally goes well. A surprising illustration: for the past twenty-four years, Stjepan Vokic, a retired school janitor, has looked after the stork Malena, who has been grounded by an injury.
