The Stork

About This Movie

In 'The Stork', the quietude of a Montenegrin village is disrupted by the emotional struggles of three women, each navigating their own turbulent waters. You can feel the weight of tradition pressing down, especially on Suta, who's caught between her late husband’s family and her desire for independence. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the viewer to really absorb the raw, intimate performances. It’s shot in a way that captures the stark beauty of the landscape, enhancing the film’s themes of autonomy and coexistence. The practical effects are minimal but effective, grounding the story in a real emotional landscape rather than relying on grand gestures. It’s a character-driven piece that lingers in your mind long after the credits roll.
