 The winner is 'Woman at War', Benedikt Erlingsson.

This is about a woman who wants to save the world.

She's an environmentalist who has turned very radical.

It's attacking, in fact, two or three very big concepts,

both climate change approaching and how ineffective

How easily environmentalists can be categorised as enemies of the state.

It's the perfect time to finish your manifesto.

It comes into the area of parenting and adopting a child.

Do you save the world by saving one child?

Here is the folder with all of the information from the Ukrainian institute.

In a way, it's about democracy, spin media,

and this environmental fight and the right of people to act even if you break the rules.

"The sabotage against our nature causing atmospheric warming

is a crime against humanity and all life on earth."

They use sometimes different strategies than men.

and in the environmental battle women are often very frontal there.

It's an ecological arthouse action thriller with a lot of music.
