The black and white film by Claudio Zulian illustrates how the life of people in a French small town continues, in spite of increasing difficulties due to the lack of sufficient local work. Strictly composed as regards pictures and sound, the short film refers to current socio-political developments. Past, present and future of work, narrated innovatively, convinced the Ecumenical Jury.

Founded in 1955 as "Leipziger Kultur- und Dokumentarfilmwoche" (Leipzig Week for Cultural and Documentary Film), the festival is headed by Christoph Terhechte since the beginning of 2020. An Ecumenical Jury existed since 1990. It was transformed into an Interreligious Jury in 2016.
