Content
Oliwia lives with her husband in a small house in the Białowieża Forest, in the middle of the restricted military zone between Poland and Belarus. With a green light in the window, she signals her willingness to help people on the run. The refugee Hamid urgently needs medical care and is eventually arrested by the police. Oliwia is not discouraged and puts her green light in the window again.

Excerpt from the jury’s statement
“Based on a well-crafted script, the suspenseful narrative poses the fundamental question of humanity on a border, and not just the one between Poland and Belarus – a highly topical issue. The short film triggers reflection: What would I do?”
