00:00People went to the movie theaters again, and people were crying in the movie theaters.
00:06This film, Awake, the pride in culture, in cinema, and also, I'm the daughter of my mother,
00:14so we are this entity.
00:17Brazil likes me.
00:18My childhood was pretty much like the house you see, and I'm still here.
00:32I lived in a house very similar to that one, and my mother, she looked pretty much like
00:39Onisi Paiva.
00:40That was my childhood, playing in the streets.
00:43I love Rio de Janeiro, I mean, I'm a product of the culture.
00:48Rio, there is a lot of artists, musicians, so we were kind of raised in this environment.
00:55Life was like that.
00:56I mean, you have a dictatorship in a country.
00:59Susan Sontag, I think she went to Sarajevo when there was the war, and she said that every
01:05week, there was a party in the main square, so even when the situation is unbearable, I
01:13think people find a way just to live.
01:16So happiness, life, theater, music, it was all around, together with a very dark, dark
01:24time.
01:25The 70s were my childhood, really.
01:29And then the 80s was when my generation came with great poets, great music.
01:36I started to live, I think, really in the 80s.
01:40I miss the 80s.
01:44I had my parents who were actors.
01:47I used to go a lot to the theaters and our house, for instance, the dining table was the
01:53place where they rehearsed.
01:55We would come from the school and they would be there sitting and preparing for the new play.
02:01So that's how I grew up.
02:04And also later, when I was an adolescent, then I had the influence of my parents, but also
02:13everybody wanted to be actors because theater was very strong in Rio de Janeiro, together
02:19with music.
02:20My mother, we talk a lot about theater and acting.
02:24And we talk generally about life, theater.
02:28She talks a lot about theater.
02:32Eunice teaches me a lot.
02:35I've never did a Greek tragedy.
02:39And I consider Eunice a Greek tragedy, someone who passes through something beyond human capability.
02:48And when it happens, what she does is she has to control herself because she has five children.
02:57So the anger, the desperation, it's a mother fighting for a family alone.
03:04It's so big.
03:05And at the same time, so controlled.
03:08It's something that I've never done before, I think, and it teaches me a lot.
03:13And I think I'll take Eunice with me for a lot of things from now on because I understood
03:20something about acting with Eunice.
03:24I was in Lisbon and I didn't watch the television because I hate expectations.
03:31And my son and my husband, one of my sons, the oldest one, were in the house with my husband.
03:39And they came up to the room where I was and said, and I had this strange feeling because
03:49the Oscars for us in Brazil for an actor is something so far away.
03:55To imagine that a movie spoken in Portuguese, the nomination of my mother already was a
04:02kind of miracle.
04:03I never thought it would be possible.
04:06And then suddenly we were working this film, making people watch it.
04:10It was a heavy, heavy work.
04:12We could feel that there was a good feeling around the film and was really a surprise.
04:18It's like living in a parallel life that it's not really yours.
04:24And now it is mine, but it's funny.
04:27It was like, oh my God, how did it happen?
04:33I look for a good project.
04:35I don't make this difference between comedy and drama.
04:41You do whatever the project asks you to do.
04:45But of course I love comedy.
04:47My dream was to have done Young Frankenstein.
04:52That's the film I would die to do.
04:55The first film that I saw that my father took me to see was Podaz and Pelle d'Azen with
05:02Donkey's King with Catherine Deneuve.
05:06It's a fairy tale with Catherine Deneuve.
05:08I never forgot it.
05:10And later, 2001, another film that my father took me when I was a child.
05:16And later, when I had my children, that was the film that I first showed them.
05:22Because you have the monkeys, you have the spaceship.
05:26Even if you don't get the whole thing, you get a lot of things.
05:31I have a long career in the internet or outside the internet.
05:36Some people don't like me, but I'm popular in Brazil.
05:40And also, I'm the daughter of my mother.
05:43So we are this entity, the Fernandes, in a way.
05:47We work together, we work separately.
05:50So Brazil likes me.
05:52Before I had like 500,000 followers.
05:57After the movie, it was like almost 5 million people.
06:02So it is the movie that it's doing this kind of commotion in Brazil.
06:09This film became, with the nomination, the possibility of a nomination with Walter again, directing
06:15a film in Brazil about such a beautiful story that nobody knew that caused the commotion
06:22in Brazil.
06:23Because not me, the film, people went to the movie theaters again.
06:29And people were crying in the movie theaters and proud.
06:33So this film, awake, the pride in culture, in cinema.
06:45So, I hope you enjoyed it.
06:48And they hope it's the same.
06:52Then they'll be like Canada.
06:53And they've become the main event for me.
06:55They'll be in the movie theaters.
06:56You can watch Canada.
06:57Well, since I was a business, it was a business, right?
06:58So I gave it to Canada.
06:59So I gave it to Canada.
07:01And I gave it to Canada.
07:03It was a business.
07:05It was a business that I gave them the mission.
07:08And they'll be like in Canada.
07:13And I gave it to Canada.
