The movie won the Critic's Prize 2010 at the Norwegian Film Festival in Haugesund and the main prize at Film by the Sea 2010 in the Netherlands. The prize, awarded for the first time in 2002 as part of the Nordic Council's 50th anniversary, is worth DKK 350,000, and will be presented to the three winners at the Nordic Council's autumn Session in Reykjavik on Wednesday 3 November.

The Nordic Council Film Prize is awarded to a feature film of cultural value produced in the Nordic countries and is divided equally between the film's director, scriptwriter and producer, which underlines that film as an art form is the result of close co-operation between these three main functions.
