FLORIAN GALLENBERGER:
Good evening. I guess there are not so many great moments in your life and this is definitely one of the greatest for me, and therefore I want to thank the wonderful people who made this film with me. Some of them are here. Where are you? [waves up to the balcony] And I want to thank Mexico where we shot the film for being such a strange and hard-to-understand country with so much magic. I want to thank my film school and the film foundations who financed me. I hope they will also finance me in the future. And I want to thank all of you for this great honor. It's a really great moment for me. Thank you very much.
