"A beautifully told dramatic personal story that excited the jury. The poetry in the narration, use of music and sounds, high quality recordings and editing, created a magical radio experience. The documentary is truly a well told radio story with excellent structure and pacing, building up a film noir with a fulfilling climax, and yet leaving the listener with a poetic mystery"
