Prize of the Ecumenical Jury, Oberhausen 2016

In his memories a soldier takes us on an excursion in the demilitarized boarder area between South Korea and North Korea.

Thrilling computer-animated sequences capture his view of a dangerous journey through a mined paradise.

Beauty and horror meet here and make us aware of the ambivalence of outer and inner limits.
