Lapid stated that this film was the “most difficult period” in his life.

“On the one hand, the work on it brought me incredible pleasure. I felt that I was fulfilling my mission. On the other hand, the post-production period was terrible, because my mother was very sick, ”the director quotes RIA Novosti.

At the same time, he added that "I am very happy to receive the Golden Bear, this is a great achievement."

Earlier it was reported that the main award of the Berlin International Film Festival was awarded the film "Synonyms" directed by Nadav Lapid.
