Claudiu Crulic, a young Romanian migrant, is imprisoned in Poland in 2008 for a theft he did not commit. In a documentary-like manner the film tells the true and moving story of Crulic's desperate fight for justice as he embarks on a hunger strike. Exploring a wide variety of animation techniques intertwined with real photography, the director discovers an innovative way to give a voice to the voiceless.
Originating in 1991 from the film club movement of the former GDR, the festival is dedicated to the films of Central and Eastern Europe and the successor states of the USSR. The main prize is the glass statue of LUBINA. An ecumenical jury, appointed by INTERFILM and SIGNIS, has accompanied the festival since 1999.
