2020 Warsaw (Docs Against Gravity Film Festival) – „Zwierciadło” Magazine Award for the Best Film on Psychological Themes
Justification: „We decided to award ‚Lesson of Love’ because we fell in love with its main character, Jola. It’s hard not to love her. For breaking free from a toxic relationship after 45 years and fighting for herself. For having no doubt that one can be happy and loved, and it’s never too late for that. And for her unwavering belief that life can be not only good but also beautiful.”
2020 Warsaw (Docs Against Gravity Film Festival) – Grand Prix Dolnego Śląska
