Prize of the Ecumenical Jury, Locarno 2014

The film tells a powerful and inspiring story which denounces a conflictual and corrupt political system in one day of the life of a small Russian town. Dima Nikitin, a young father and determined worker-student, goes against the social current with courage, honesty, humility and deep sense of responsibility. Through compelling acting and photography, the film paints a realistic portrait of radical goodness.
