Sehsuchte International Student Film Festival
„Because it explores a situation that cannot be held for much longer of a rocky character and its curiosity. The complexity of representation about a rock letting things go and exploring new things as well as breaking with the conventional ideas it had in the first place. A very modern way of narration. Thanks to the inventive generosity of the director, in a life full of confusion there is always space for choice and a funny song.“
