For portraying the normality of a day in the Gaza Strip through intelligent cinematographic choices. A film deliberately at odds with the overdose of images of war channeled and consumed by the media. Tied with Wolf (2013).

For the originality of the project and for being able to describe in an innovative way a particularly difficult place like the Gaza Strip, made invisible by the excessive amount of stereotyped images commonly used to look at this place and describe it. The formal awareness and maturity demonstrated by this film was particularly appreciated; it managed to make us understand that, in order to describe reality, it is not enough to just observe it is: you also need cinematographic mediation.

A collective film with a strong coherence in terms of style and aims. The issue of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict handled in a non-violent and universal way through a choral story where everyday life becomes the engine for authentic actions that overcome the friend-foe distinction. A clear example of non-violent struggle through a daily reality of resistance. The protagonists' actions, however limited by a narrow and stifling geographic border, open up to a profound contact with the outside world.
