The film premiered at Critics\u2019 Week in Cannes this year. It is a story about a father and his son who jump with a parachute from their house on a vertiginous cliff to a village in the valley below to sell ice there every day.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThis animated film left us speechless and with tears in our eyes. It works on many layers, from love and loss to global economy and environmental cataclysm. All these important issues are sculpted incredibly subtly and skillfully, both in narrative and in style. This poetic piece of art deserves to become part of a permanent exhibition in every museum of modern art,\u201c explained the jury members (Jing Hasse from Swedish Film Institute, Austrian filmmaker Mo Harawe and Croatian filmmaker Andrej Korovljev).<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cOn behalf of the whole film crew, I thank you from my heart. It was my graduation film and I worked on it with the best team. This is why the award belongs to all of us, for there would be no film without them,\u201d said the young Portuguese filmmaker in his message to Motovun Film Festival. <\/p>\n\n<p>Jo\u00e3o Gonzalez combines his music and animation gifts in his films. His short films <em>Nestor\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0<em>The Voyager<\/em>\u00a0have been shown at 130 festivals.<\/p>\n\n<p>In addition, the crew of the film will also receive a EUR1,000 cash award.
