Berlinale Jury Statement: The use of pulsating colours and the rousing music sweep us up in a dream-like flow here. This effect is reinforced by the layering of various experiences and memories. With very few words and expressive movements on the part of the protagonist, we begin to identify with him. This short film allowed us to experience multifaceted love, friendship and the search for identity.
