Commendation of the Ecumenical Jury, Mannheim-Heidelberg 2011

This film shows us in an emotionally touching way that solidarity and understanding are possible. In the guise of a tale it tells of two people who find the way to the other’s heart despite of linguistic and cultural barriers and thereby change themselves positively. Staged with a sensitive, unexcited hand, it focuses on its two main actors, but depicts at the same time its minor characters in a differentiated and warm way.
