“To a film that masterfully puts forward the different tools of cinema to disclose the complexity of history. As sound was researched and captured, a space emerged and in time exists what is there and what no longer is. We think of our time and its connection with what came before – we celebrate alliances, care and the power of our roots,” commented the International Competition Jury.
