Zsolt Kató received and honourable mention for his film Le petit mort (The Little Death).

"The excellent script, along with an intense and brilliant acting, make this an extremely well shot movie, which faces - with sincere and analytic depth- a very intimate but universal story. Overall, the movie turns out to be very coherent and convincing."
