It is Špela’s second professional film, first after her widely popular Boles, and since its international premiere in September it was featured in 9 competition programs – among others at the Ottawa International Animation Festival – and won two awards: for the Best Film at the Festival of Slovenian Film and Honorary Mention at DOK Leipzig.
