Žirija podeljuje nagrado filmu, ki nas je osvojil s svojo vsebinsko večplastnostjo, vizualno estetiko, režijskim presežkom in izdelanimi igralskimi stvaritvami. Z odprtimi usti smo doživljali intenzivnost družinskih odnosov, nevzdržno stopnjevanje napetosti in mamljivost pobega iz raja. Nagrado prejme film Morena.
The prize of the International Youth Film Competition goes to a film we found thoroughly convincing: camera, acting, sound. It addresses many subjects that are important to young people today: friendship and jealousy, fear and change, family and domestic violence. It made us curious and shows how complex our relationships with other people are. In addition to that, the actors and the landscapes are captivatingly beautiful!
