YOUNG JURY PRIZE
Jury statement: Our winning film makes us reflect on how quickly we are willing to push our personal boundaries. In his search for affection, adventure, and belonging, the protagonist must rediscover himself and his own values. A sophisticated interplay of loud and quiet, intense visuals, and exceptional music, together with its highly relevant theme, make our chosen film an important cinematic experience, not just for our generation.

CRITICS’ PRIZE FOR BEST FICTION FEATURE
Jury statement: A longing for freedom, belonging, and connection. A troubled family, a monotonous job, loneliness in the woods. Dark sounds, a great love, an adventure on the road. Black figures in the snow, black patterns on skin. Dark tendencies, a tipping point, many tipping points. How far can you bend yourself before your dreams shatter?

In images of great beauty, this drama tells of shifting boundaries and opening abysses, with the small world pointing to the vast one. Courageously and authentically, the film gazes into an unknown cosmos, which we experience through the protagonist's eyes. The contrast between soft light and sharp music creates an intense cinematic atmosphere.
