Kills On Wheels
2016

Is it allowed for an ecumenical jury to give it's prize to a hit man? Probably not, even if he sits in a wheelchair. We give the prize to a dead serious movie that is finally not about hit men, but about the power of the human spirit, the will to life and the passion to never give up. Drawing comics for the real hero of the movie is not an escape but coming to grips with reality. With great respect the filmmakers take seriously the situation of handicapped people.
