The members of the jury said Pistereanu convinced them his dilemma was real, and added his performance left them speechless.

„If I Want To Whistle, I Whistle”, a prison drama about a teenager’s desperate bid to escape, was the first Romanian film in 17 years to be selected for the annual Berlinal Film Festival. The film won the runner-up Grand Jury Prize and the Alfred-Bauer award for cinematic innovation in the 60th edition of the Berlinale.

The feature film is also Romania’s proposal for the 2011 Academy Awards in the best foreign language film section.
