Prize justification: For speaking in a loud voice, without following already existing narration and dramaturgy patterns.
For finding and tackling an up-to-date subject – a story about being truthful to oneself at a risk of loosing acceptance or love, and about the process of self-fulfilment through accepting one’s own nature in the times of chasing after media promoted models.
For precision, scantiness and purity in using film expression means and their adequacy for the subject matter and the type of the film.
For daring choice of actors and consistency in building an unusual inner world of the main protagonist.
