Jury statement: "The winner of the "Best directing" - award is a film that seems like it wouldn't have existed without its director. The depiction of friendship, the yearning for another life and coming to terms with saying goodbye to the past moved us deeply. The acting is real, but at the same time animated; the beautiful cinematography and sound give the film lightness and sensibility - it all fits together, without ever feeling constricted. Small intimate moments make room for the audience to put themselves into the characters. And we loved it".
