Prize of the Ecumenical Jury, Mannheim-Heidelberg 2008

The Ecumenical Jury awards its Prize to BORDERLINE for the multilayered and up-to-date portrayal of sexuality. On the background of disturbing experiences in Kiki’s, her protagonist’s, childhood the director focusses on issues where other films get vague: on the questionable practice concerning one’s own body deprived from sensitivity. Brillant acting and convincing storytelling add to the film’s credibility and enables viewers to feel close to the characters
