The highpoints of this project stem from the intensity of a "first time" – my first film. On the set, friendly trust was the key. Expressing the truth and sincerity of women who don't want to sacrifice anything (clinging to their numerous facets, shortcomings, excesses, guilt and uncompromising determination to exist) probably prompted the crew into comparing their daily lives, sharing tales of parenting. Everyone offered me a little of their own personal experience as a gift. The humor and irony was the most pleasant side, even if it required constant discipline. I wanted to transcribe a certain energy and get some distance on a hard-to-manage lifestyle. Laughter in the face of drama provides an escape from depression. Laughter in the theater produces an inexplicably magic buzz. These days, all I can think about is the intensity of a "second time."
