The Ecumenical Jury awards its Prize to "Outside Love" for the touching story of a relationship which makes the immpossible possible.
In telling a love story of a Jew and a Muslim Daniel Espinosa picks up the never ending conflict between two estranged cultures. With sensitive images and expressive interpretations, the film shows how hostility can be overcome: by mutual recognition and empathy, trust, courage and love.
