Yesterday’s enemies are today’s allies in Un si grand soleil.
After the mysterious disappearance of Victor (Bertrand Farge), Claire (Melanie Maudran) really had no choice but to agree to lead the investigation with Hélène (Sophie Le Tellier).
Only, Claire hasn’t forgotten all the damage her ex-friend did, and especially the fact that he kidnapped her. Although the psychiatric report concluded that Helen’s behavior was caused by the treatment of hypertension, the nurse never believed and, on the contrary, was convinced of her danger.
Since then, everyone has been wondering if Elena is really crazy…
In A new excerpt is available on the France.tv platformHelen and Claire are hiding outside the thatched cottage storeroom when they see two teenagers break in, including Tom, Emma’s brother. Although Claire is about to call the police, Helen advises her against it, as investigators are still clueless about Victor’s disappearance.
Finally, Elena gets out of the car and goes to meet them. When he asks them what they are doing with Victor’s computers, one of them tells him to mind his own business. He may continue, but the teenager refuses to answer and ends the abuse. Helen then pulls a revolver from her pocket before threatening them.
“You have three seconds to tell me what you are going to do with these boxes“, then he begins.
Seeing him do this, Claire immediately intervenes and asks him to drop the gun. After Tom’s accomplice escapes, Helen demands answers. A worried Tom makes her believe that he just came to collect his sister Emma’s things. However, Elena knows very well that she is lying and loses her temper. Claire, on the other hand, tries to calm him down.
In the face of this borderline behavior, are we to imagine that Claire was right about Helen’s madness from the start?
On this subject, Sophie Le Tellier, Hélène’s translator, explained in an interview with Télé Poche magazine:I’d say she’s a bit like Kristoff’s female counterpart, who occasionally transitions from being a vet to being a serial killer.” and the actor added, “She goes up too fast, too far, and then she falls. That’s what will happen to Alix when she realizes she’s been lied to. She’ll want revenge, but Alix will be able to bring her back. All those emotions will still be there. Make Helen wonder about her mental health and she’ll confide in Claire .“.
Melanie Maudran, who plays Claire, said: “I remind myself of Ross in Friends when he keeps saying to Rachel, ‘But we were on the edge!’ Claire, it’s the same with Helen: ‘Because I’m going to tell you she’s crazy!’ Actually, it’s more subtle because we don’t know for sure what’s going on. She understands. , that Elena is not doing well, and because she is a nurse and has a big heart, she allows herself to soften a little..”
This is enough to bring a complexity to Hélène that allows her character to explore all its nuances in the sequel Un si grand soleil.
