“Is a fiction. And when the emotions were too strong and I felt overwhelmed, I told myself that it was fake when that’s what really happens to some women. ”

Juliet Rudd also made the choice not to meet Laura before filming began. “I was afraid, for the sake of honesty and responsibility, that I had to follow who I was. With Yonut (Teianu, director)We thought it would be more interesting to build Laura based on what sounded like me to make her a really fictional character.“

“The main thing was his story and his fight was told.The choice, which feels like Juliet Rude’s interpretation, is full of precision, despite the rigor of the topic.
