Jury statement: The award goes to a cinematographic experience that is held from the beginning to the end by a constant and efficient narrative. A film that makes folk music resonate in rooms without windows, where employees are seeking meaning through rituals and repetition surrounded by obsolete furniture and technology. Form and content come along as one.
