The animation jury motivated the Talent Award with these words:
Despite the traditional style, this director succeeds in creating a personal and very innovative short, not least because of the unconventional choice of theme.The jury was led into a credible, strong and organic world, where both images and sound supported the beauty and danger and of the tale - a grim tale - that still leaves us with faith in humanity.The film shows the director's obvious talent to communicate, not only with animation, but also with the film language as such.
