Jury Statement for winning film:
Through a delicate and evocative fable, the work frees the history of a nation from the reductive narratives often perpetuated by the media. Blending philosophy, poetry, and striking landscapes, it guides us through an intimate journey from the 1940s to the present. By approaching the scars of conflict with simplicity and visual grace, the director offers a profound reflection on how we perceive the stories of others.
