Awards

Motivation of the jury: "A coming of age story that is beautiful and brave and transfers its audience to a time and place that we have all known many times before. Only this time the perspective is different. A historical drama with timeless brilliance."

Motivation of the jury: "With precision and depth she challenges the audience to see beyond the obvious and forces us to face our prejudices. A brave and sharp portrait of a young woman facing her heritage and future when everything that she believed in is changing.'

Motivation of the jury: "This film has that rare visual quality that makes us leave the safe position of watching our history from a distance. Even in a landscape of war, the images are rich, sensual and beautiful. The beauty of this film is no stylistic exercise but the way to reveal the complexity of life itself. The award goes to a historical drama with a powerful and contemporary imagery."

Motivation of the jury: "As with all great scores this music works in beautiful harmony with the film's visual language. This talented composer is often labeled as a "neo-classical", and though utilizing a simple set-up of piano and strings, the score builds into something ultimately fresh and powerful."
