Somalia-born Mo Harawe has quickly established himself among Austria’s most distinctive and talented directors: last year his Life on the Horn won the Vienna Shorts Youth Jury’s award for Best Narrative Film. He now delivers another haunting monochrome meditation on human frailty and resilience via the story of a young man facing imminent execution and the policewoman he encounters in the hours before his death. A tough, indelible work of tact and grace.
