Motivation from the jury:
“The second Film of this director is an engaging work. The topic is little known in cinema and deserves recognition for this ability to create empathy between the characters and for the aspects of exploitation behind the shiny scenes. We give our prize to the second film of Sofia Exarchou Animal. Also we want to mention that all actors and actresses show a great performance.”
