A Spanish film has won the Golden Pyramid in the 32nd Cairo International Film Festival (CIFF) that ended on Friday.

During the closing ceremony of the film festival held on Friday evening in Cairo Opera House, the jury announced that "Return to Hansala" won the prize for the best film.

The film directed by Chus Giutierrez is a story of a Moroccan woman, who losses her brother in an illegal immigration attempt to Spain and must return his body to their homeland.

The film "bridges two continents in a deeply sympathetic study of multiracial understanding," said the jury.

The Belgian film "Cut Loose" grabbed the Silver Pyramid prize.

The prize for the best director went to Pernille Ficher Chirsten from Denmark for his film "dancers".

Juan Diego Botto got the prize for the best actor and the prize for the best actress was awarded to Yolande Moreau.

According to the organizing committee, 46 films out of some 150movies from 59 countries and regions, including 22 movies from nine Arab states, took part in the competition of the event.

Some 22 Spanish movies were screened during the festival with Spain being the special guest of honor.
