Regarding the reason for the award, the Munich Film Festival said, “The line ‘Thank you for being born’ is a sentence that touches the audience. If every character, no matter how trivial, is ultimately multi-layered and lovable, then that is cinematic art.”

“It’s a film full of nostalgia, determination, and detours. The detours we must sometimes follow in life to find ourselves and each other,” said the jury. “We were able to discover a part of us through the movie.”
