Art kino mreža Slovenije podeljuje nagrado filmu, ki se spretno poigrava s konceptom grozljivega domačega in nas hkrati kliče nazaj k svobodi v čas brez pametnih telefonov, ko so imele besede toplino glasu, prijateljstvo pa je je veljalo za najvišje/največje zavezništvo. Film, ki nas spominja, da je odraščanje lahko težko, a če se na pot podaš s prijatelji, je vsaka ovira premostljiva - Pojdi z mano!
