HWK is Hartmannswillerkopf, a rocky spur in the Vosges mountains. During World War I more than 30,000 soldiers died there - hence the title of this powerful film.

By the end the tourists too are moved by the tragedy.

Alan's aim to pack as many jokes as possible into this story about Earth threatened by an approaching comet, paid off with the loudest, most enthusiastic and prolonged applause I have ever heard at any festival. Luckily Alan was there to accept the cheers and seemed faintly flummoxed by the number of people who came up to him all week to praise the movie. When he received his medal half the audience stood and jumped up and down - a reference to action in the film.

Popular film maker, Bernhard, gave up smoking on his 50th birthday and was diagnosed with lung cancer three months later. This brave film is how he responded. He records how he and Karin faced up to the situation, to chemotherapy and the removal of one lung. There is a painful honesty in it which left many of his friends and admirers shocked and tearful. Yet it has a positive message and a happy ending.
