AlloCiné had the opportunity to meet Alex Lutz during the Paris promotion (the actor explains which scene upset him after a personal tragedy). He revealed to us whether or not he thinks these criticisms of this type of show (which are some people’s opinions in real life) are justified.

“I really liked this game, how the generations come together. It’s never easy, sometimes you need a little patience. He opens his eyes in a different way, just like his mother opens her eyes in a different way. Everyone tries to help each other in times of need.Alex Lutz finishes.

These are the two new episodes of Paris available tonight, Wednesday, from 21:05 on France 2.
