It’s the third part of a trilogy Haugerud has completed in the past year. Sex premiered at Berlin in 2024, and Love was screened at the 2024 Venice Film Festival.
The runner-up Silver Bear prize went to Brazilian director Gabriel Mascaro’s dystopian drama The Blue Trail. Argentine director Ivan Fund’s rural saga The Message won the third-place Jury Prize.
