The jury said director, screenwriter, actor and writer Pevec has directed an impressive film about the clash of one's idealism and the cruelty of post-transition times.
This is not the first award for Pevec at Croatia's oldest festival; in 2011 his Lahko Noč, Gospodična (Good Night, Missy) won the Golden Arena for best cinematography, for best leading actress and for best director in the section of minority co-productions.
Pevec has directed a number of feature and documentary films and has received a number of awards. One of his recent award-winning films is Home (2015), a documentary about migrant workers and social outcasts living in a boarding house in Ljubljana.
