Sterile images, cold colours and expressionless faces come together to create a warm hearted story, told in a bleak and light-footed manner by the director. The lethargy is elevated to a stylistic device and creates a wilful sense of humour matched by the decisive singularity of the protagonists. A special world is created here in which the viewers find their own one again.

An extraordinary filming of a typical relationship problem with an innovative adaptation. Unease. Anger. Love. At all times the viewers sense what the protagonist is feeling. You are invited to create a second screen with your own imagination.

The prize winning film convinced us with its excellent acting performances, its unusual story and its timelessness, underscored by shooting it in black and white. The film's grace moved us, combining narrative art, dramatic skills and visual ability. At the same time, every twist in the plot causes the viewers to question themselves, their society, its relationship with its members and its interdependencies, making them examine the power of money and the limited scope to resist it.

An incredible event that wants to be told and whose dramatic necessity consists of the very fact that it has to be told. A film that initially seems simple, yet which first gains its relevance through the right decisions taken in it: The material selected, the directing of the actors and the consistent structure which touches the limits of the medium and thus reflects on story telling in film.

A moving film about a friendship in a child's world of fantasy - told in a wonderful, simply, well crafted structure and animation - one that appeals to all generations thanks to its own unique humour.

We are carried away in a light-footed manner into a dream world in which the narrative and the characters are skilfully woven together. The freedom offered by animation is utilised excellently here in order to advance a plot full of surprises. Through its constant play with the viewers' perception, the story reveals itself while permitting enough space at the same time for each person's very own personal interpretation.

What makes the story in this extraordinary film so gripping, convincing and deeply moving is that its essence is not expressed. Instead it is left to the viewers' own interpretation.

There is an end right at the start. An incomprehensible one that permits no return. The film's intense, objective camera work, almost painful with its lack of cuts, yet never disrespectful, follows a person who has to live on after and especially with this end. A taboo is courageously contextualised that has often been a motive yet rarely the subject matter. And what remains is a gash in the wall, a crack in the window and a gaping hole in our hearts.

With a surprisingly reductionist idea, the film creates a house in a humorous manner with all of the sounds that get you in the groove.
