At Riga Airport, wildlife control officer Mareks navigates the complex balance between human travel and nature. With as many as 30,000 birds visiting daily, Mareks knows that every flight could be jeopardized by an unexpected encounter. As he prepares for work, he seeks a bit of luck—perhaps a candlelit prayer at church—while managing the unseen wildlife challenges that could threaten air safety. Join Mareks in this unique tale of duty, luck, and the unseen lives that intersect with our own.
