Motivation:
“In a constantly changing and insecure world, we would like to highlight a timeless and an exceptionally beautiful depiction of everyday life struggle set in a brutal, almost mythical, environment. The quality of this film lies, among other things, in the extraordinary black and white imagery complemented by the intense surrounding sounds. Although the observation is framed in a rough way, it values tenderness and love at a very fundamental level”.
