When the Storks Fly Away

Christian Luka, an old wine grower, lives alone in the village of Redu Mare. Upon learning that it was decided to demolish the old vineyard in order to plant new vines in its place, Christian loses heart and decides that it's time for him to give way to the young ones. The chairman of the collective farm, understanding the mood of the old man, preserves his vineyard. And again the old man prunes the vine. The work rejuvenated him, filled him with new vitality. He no longer shuns people, but takes an active part in their lives and affairs.
