Prize of the Ecumenical Jury, Mannheim-Heidelberg, 2024

They meet in the streets of a big city: the investment banker and the street vendor. At first glance, they couldn't be more different, yet a deep bond develops between them. Together they rediscover the joy of life. The young couple declares every day a holiday, precisely because they are aware of their own fragility and finiteness.

With images of impressive beauty, the film speaks of love, respect, dignity, wishes, tenderness and care. A film that defies death, violence, illness, loneliness and social conventions, yet never drifts into the banal.
