According to a jury of 24^th International Film Festival LIFe in Ljubljana, Slovenia, Miele shows the birth of the ordinary, tragic friendship through the fundamental questions of contemporary ethics and morality, while perpetual in dogma film language and an intimate direction of intelligent atmosphere, which gives the viewer a key question – what does it mean to be human at the end of their path.

Odbrana i zaštita/ A Stranger directed by Bobo Jelčić for the defense and protection of the human tragedy is a subtle helplessness, which locks the Viewer as the life of the main character. In addition, with every smile activated with perfect absurdity of everyday situations, directed movie us almost seamlessly put into the cage, where the protagonists eventually leave us – and thus achieve more than if we left the door open.
