The film shows that the history of a man's decisions has an influence on his personal life and milieu. Thanks to a deep self-perception and attentive listening to others, he is able to give meaning to his life despite his mistakes. The jury highlights the remarkable way in which the film tells us that every human being is capable of developing into a full-fledged human being throughout his or her entire life.
