a caregiver. so it's not patronizing or hierarchical in any way, but rather communal and nice and inclusive. it would probably still not have been my choice for the golden bear. but one decision i totally agree with, i'm a 100 percent on board, is the decision to give sophia or tara, or the silver bear for the best leading performance? it was her 1st acting experience and she is the youngest ever person to receive that award. that was really incredible. and in 20000 species of b as she placed that child who was born in the body of a boy, but identifies as a girl and she's on the search also for a new name. and that was a really strong, really heartwarming performance. and also in the cinema when i watched it with a lot of other journalists together, there were, was a lot of applause. there was, there were a lot of brazos and i in the end had goose bumps when i saw the enemy. so heart warming to see her response to winning that prize. she's
