Motivation: “We are honored to present this award to a film that carefully weaves past and present, inviting us to draw close to an intimate story. The generosity of this film lies in the tenderness of a child’s gaze and the courage of a mother, reminding us that cinema can be a meeting place: a way of creating kinship, of finding one another, and of entering, with tenderness, the fissures of family history. Through its cinematography, its writing, and its music, the film brings us into a world that, despite the distances between our lives and our places of origin, feels deeply familiar. This is one of cinema’s greatest gifts: to make the intimate resonate beyond itself, and to transform a personal memory into a shared experience. For the tenderness with which it revisits the past, and for the generosity with which it invites us into the life of a family”.
