Money Back, Please
12 min | Norway | 2013
An eight year old Romani girl goes into a shopping mall to get warm and people's prejudices are put to the test. When it is required to follow rules and procedures in a situation, where only one needs to be a human being, we choose the easiest way out.
A brilliant depiction of an error in the system, shattering the foundations of society. With simple and stripped down script and flawless implementation, this smart little movie inspires thought on a wide spectrum. A documentary approach with a hidden agenda keeps viewers and participants unbiased.

The award goes to a remarkably good movie, which is about social rules and boundaries. Through timely and effective storytelling, we are confronted with our own prejudices and reactions. Solid acting and observing Photo forcing the audience into the situation. The film works on several levels and is both funny, sore and embarrassed, and says something universal about fear to stand again socially undressed . Director mastered the demanding shape very well, with surprising twists and clever details in storytelling. -Bergen International Film Festival 2013 - Best Norwegian Short
