"The prize for the best Nordic film goes to a film that tells the story of a family that suffers - and is finally destroyed by - the brutality of its father. We think that this has been, and still is, the terrible experience of many children and youngsters - to be abused morally and psychologically or even physically, mostly by their fathers. The films protagonist, the son, learns throughout the film to disobey and to mistrust his father - something that is terribly hard to learn and understand for a child: That your parent is selfishly using his power over you to break your will, that your parent is a failure. We were deeply touched by following the young protagonist through his tough experience. The prize for the best Nordic film goes to Kompani Orheim (Company Orheim).
