Last year, Kulka won the Best Actor in a Leading Role Award, Gabriella Hámori the Best Supporting Actress Award, and Gábor Balázs the Hungarian Cinema Award for Best Voice for his performance in the movie. This spring, Zsolt Nagy was awarded Best Actor at the Porto Film Festival for his acting in the film, while Norbert Köbli received the Best Screenplay Award.
