Starring Sion Daniel Young (Slow Horses) and Fra Fee (Rebel Moon), it follows Gabriel and Andy, who long to adopt a child and to do so they must convince their social worker Jackie (Elizabeth Berrington) that they’re up to the task. However, Gabe masks demons: the effects of decades of shame having grown up in a society that overwhelmingly treated being gay as a sin.

Welsh playwright Daf James was on the ground to collect the award, which was part of the Seriencamp Conference and Festival Awards Ceremony earlier today. Lost Boys and Fairies was his debut TV project. You can read more about it here.

The jury for the Official Competition comprised of director, producer and screenwriter Hüseyin Tabak, director and screenwrier Mia Spengler and co-founder and agent at ZTA Management Zetha Asafu–Adjaye.

The Digital Short Form Award went to Arte’s Samuel.

For the Seriencamp Conference track, the Collaborative Future Award was won by Raju, which grabbed a €7,500 ($8,200) prize. The Seriencamp Writers’ Vision Award (aka the BetaSeries Award) went to Find Me, and the Pretty Original Award, which comes with a cash prize of €2,000, and Pilot Peek Award was won by Preferably Yesterday.
