Honey won the Golden Bear in Berlin, and now, the award for Best film in Adana. Bora Altas, playing 6-year-old Yusuf in the film, recieved a special price from the jury. Shiny green and purple confetti fell from the sky, and director Semih Kaplanoglu raised his golden statue, thanking young Bora. ”When I called him today he was picking walnuts. I want to thank him, he is such a great actor. Maybe I discovered him, and he discovered me, and the film is about this discovery”.
