»V tišini noči in ritmu narave, odhaja eno življenje, da bi se rešila druga. Intimno in bližnje, brez besed, ta odlična režijska miniatura pove mnogo več, kot nam prikazuje kamera. Preprosto, a močno avtorsko delo nas uči spoštovanja. To posvečeno dejanje izkaže več spoštovanja do svoje žrtve, kot ga mi eden do drugega.«
Oliver Sertić
