The Roger Ebert Award goes to "La Tirisia" (Mexico), which instills empathy through its director's strong sense of visual composition and handling of difficult themes. Setting his film in a surreal, sensual landscape in Oaxaca, Mexico, this subtle drama of two pregnant women transports viewers to a unique part of the world, but deals with universal human emotion at the same time. It's the kind of unforgettable journey that only film can replicate. Director: Jorge Pérez Solano.
