Director Milko Lazarov also received the FIPRESCI Award of the International Federation of Film Critics.

The film tells the story of a father's love for his daughter, Tarika, a girl with special abilities, which puts him at odds with the prejudiced residents of a border town, according to Hindustan Times. "My film is about the freedom of the soul. Cinema has a universal language. I am happy that it received such great recognition here", Milko Lazarov told the Press Trust of India after the ceremony.
