CANNES FILM FESTIVAL 2006 – « Un Certain Regard »official selection, Performance award from Un Certain Regard For Dorothea Petre
"  ...Through Lalalilu's eyes, through his fragility and his successive illnesses, it is privation that we understand. Through his love for his sister, we understand the injustices. Through his desire to save his beloved sister, we discover the naivety of a time, of a generation, convinced that a man on his own – Ceausescu – is responsible for all the pains of a country. However, this generation is too scared to rebel." Eléonore Guerra in Cannes2006.com
