It’s been more than four years since the viewers of France 2 met the character of Astrid, a young autistic woman as brilliant and disturbing, who helps Commander Raphael Coste to solve very unusual investigations. Each other in the detective series Astrid and Rafaele.
Over the course of the episodes, the two characters gradually developed a beautiful friendship that is an asset to this successful fiction today. In season 4, currently airing every Friday on France 2, their relationship takes a new turn when Rafael, then in the middle of moving, comes to spend the night at Astrid’s well-kept apartment.
An impromptu “pajama party” that turns out to be stressful for the latter, who doesn’t appreciate being disturbed in his little habits. This rather funny scene from the first episode was an opportunity for Astrid and Raphael fans to learn that Sarah Mortensen’s character sleeps in a woolen hat.
A rather unusual outfit, the idea of which was born directly from the brain of the actor, as he told us at the briefing.
“He wears a hat because otherwise his hair gets tangledSarah Mortensen told us. “Otherwise, he has hair on his face and he doesn’t like it.” And when he came up with this idea, the actor really thought of everything.
Autistic people have heightened sensory perception. They are, in fact, very sensitive to sensory stimuli such as noise, smell or light, and sometimes need to cut themselves off from the world to avoid sensory overload.
This is an element that Sarah Mortensen took into account when proposing this idea, the actress has been paying close attention to many studies on this issue. “The hair moves on the pillow, causing it to stick there without her realizing it.“, he explained, before adding:He also wears headphones, so he can hear even less..” A simple explanation that fits Astrid’s character very well.
Watch a new, unreleased episode of Astrid and Raphael Season 4 this Friday, November 24, from 9:10pm on France 2. The episodes are already available for preview on the france.tv platform.
