00:00I think it's wonderful that this film is the proof that Moroccans, Moroccans and Algerians

00:25and Algerians can work together, hand in hand and support each other.

00:28At the beginning, we placed it in Algeria and then it became the country of Louby,

00:31which adds an important lyric dimension to the film, which really has its place.

00:37But in the country of Louby, despite everything, it is important that my character has an Algerian accent.

00:43So it's something I worked on a lot.

00:45So I'm very happy with this challenge and very happy with the final result, in general I mean.

00:58I love you.

01:05I love you.

01:10I love you.

01:12I love you.

01:16What we chose, in any case, to work with Daniela, the director,

01:20is rather to work with her as a woman who, rather than saying, she comes back to life,

01:25we said to ourselves, she comes back to her love.

01:28And following this new encounter, she will have to confront herself,

01:36and she will have to question herself and say, OK, what is my life?

01:39Where am I? What is it like? To make a little state of the place of what she is.

01:43Hello.

01:46How are you? I'm fine.
