*The Japan Foundation is an independent administrative institution which aims at more comprehensive and effective development of international cultural exchange programs and which undertakes many cultural exchange projects.
We are thrilled that we have won the Japan Foundation President’s Prize. This award is an honour for our company and for the Director, a distinction to what the film is aiming for: to understand the differences and similarities between two nations and how these totally different civilizations can have so much in common. Happiness, homesickness, and pain are felt by all people and feelings become the common universal language that can connect almost anyone, no matter their background. We feel more than happy for our work to have been honoured by this so important prize which constitutes an educational initiative that brings together film productions from all over the world.
