«For the minimalistic approach to the tragic and heartbreaking story, where the main characters are guiding the spectator through authentic, but never sentimental feelings. The story is strongly supported by an original work of the sound design, the editing and the outstanding performances of the actors». The jury.
"We'd like to make a special mention of the Dutch film Bigman (Strijder), for a well- written complex and groundbreaking script, along with the wonderful direction and acting, is what make this film into a multilayered and moving Drama.", the jury.
