O Orfoao / The Orphan by Carolina Markowicz (Brazil, Director’s Fortnight)
Girl
The award goes to a film which is real filmmaking with beautiful acting. A film on a specific topic with a character whose quest for identity is really powerful. It is a great performance to be able to speak to each one of us on the biggest mystery in the universe: who are we and who do we want to be? A fantastic filmmaker is born.
O Orfoao / The Orphan
Because it is a teenager questioning himself just like a grown-up, because of his personal conviction which is challenging the world as it is, because of the relevant perspective, the narrative and the cinematographic approach, the winner is Carolina Marcowicz’s short film, The Orphan.
Un Certain Regard 2018 presented 18 films in competition. 6 of them were first films.

A mother of three, Anna is constantly running around – from work to the nursery, to school, to ballet, to fencing class. As if this wasn’t enough, she suspects that her husband is cheating on her. Her issues are hardly unique, but she has simply no time to stop and think them through. They build up relentlessly, threatening to crush her. Carrying on takes more energy than she has left. Will she be able to save what’s fragile and unique in her life?
