Jury Motivation

An exquisite portrayal of poetics and vibrance in a moving story of a harsh, yet beautiful life. A cinematografic manifestation of graceful taste and deep content. For the right mix of poetic spirit and image rawness, remaining true to its characters while leaving enough open space for the audience to experience those people’s way of life.

Synopsis
