00:00We really want to do an emotional movie.
00:06Who cares about what they think?
00:09This is about me.
00:11This is about my life.
00:15This is me.
00:19In this movie we see that grief is a very personal matter,
00:25but all the characters that surround Marta
00:29judge her for her way to cope with her grief.
00:35So why, in your opinion,
00:37sometimes people feel they need to judge people
00:40also on how they cope with their grief?
00:45I think it all relates to the fact that
00:51such tragedy goes against the circle of life.
00:54So it's really hard to talk about it
00:57and it's really hard to deal with it.
01:00And I think the other perspectives come from a great intention
01:04of like trying to go back to our previous life,
01:08trying to make a person move on.
01:12So I don't think it's any bad intentions,
01:15but it's like, you know, trying to keep it together.
01:19And our perspective was to represent Marta,
01:23our main character, Vanessa's character,
01:26as someone who we would say have a stuck bereavement process,
01:31which means she cannot move on.
01:33She cannot go through the five stages of grief.
01:36And she has a very good reason to do so
01:39because she wants to stay with her baby.
01:41and she feels like moving on would be a betrayal.
01:46And I think this was so important for us
01:50that all the characters have their reasons,
01:53you know, to act as they do.
01:57But of course, our main focus is on motherhood
02:01and on her and on the love she feels
02:05and wants to celebrate.
02:07Through the movie, we see often the metaphor of the bridge.
02:13We constantly see bridges.
02:15There's a picture with an important bridge.
02:18So why?
02:20What does it mean, this bridge for you both?
02:24I come from Budapest,
02:26so we have a great river
02:27and we have a lot of bridges.
02:29So I'm freaking out.
02:30I love bridges.
02:31But of course, it represents, you know, so many things.
02:34It's such a symbolic piece of architect, you know,
02:37like connecting two shores.
02:40So I can tell you the very banal answer,
02:43but that's the truth.
02:44How we can come closer and closer
02:46and at the end we connect it
02:48and then we can go into our shores.
02:52And that was very important for me
02:54at the end of the movie to tell that
02:56very banal and very simple truth
02:59we need to create and we need to make bridges
03:03in between culture, in between us.
03:06and that somehow was very important to me.
03:12It's so emotional, this movie.
03:14there's so, I was really moved by it,
03:18but yet you were the director.
03:21So you had to maintain your rationality in that moment.
03:28So how did you manage?
03:29Because it's so intense.
03:31It's so powerful.
03:32How did you manage to stay in control?
03:38You know, I mean, we really want to do an emotional movie.
03:42So first of all, we did a movie about a taboo.
03:45We would like to break silence somehow.
03:47We want to tell a woman's inside journey,
03:52in a journey and triumph against grief.
03:55And it cannot be anything else but emotional.
04:00And also to use emotions in cinemas these days
04:04are almost like a taboo as well.
04:07So you can get cliche emotions from soap operas
04:10or very, I don't know,
04:12cold, reflective, intellectual movies.
04:14But how we can conquer back our emotions as human beings.
04:21And that was very important for me to share my experience.
04:26It's a very personal movie.
04:28And also gave as much possibility to feel your emotions
04:34as early as possible.
04:37And that was something very important to me.
04:40Yeah, exactly.
04:41So this is like how you break a taboo,
04:44how you break the silence.
04:46You need to talk.
04:47And therefore, once you can talk about something,
04:50it's not something you suppress anymore.
04:54It's not something that holds you back somehow.
04:57So I think it was very important for us
05:00to be explicit with the story.
05:02I think that the end of the movie is really hopeful.
05:06There's a lot of hope in your movie
05:09because life goes on in some ways.
05:13So was your intention to also to be hopeful
05:18and not only so dark?
05:22Very much so.
05:23But also it comes from the fact that we understood
05:26that every fourth pregnancy ends in either miscarriage
05:32or losing a child, stillbirth.
05:35So it's a very common thing.
05:37And I also wanted to express with the ending,
05:40not just the happy ending,
05:42but also to say that this could happen to anyone.
05:46And I heard so many mothers saying,
05:49I'm a mother of two children.
05:53One is not alive anymore.
05:56And the other is here with me.
05:58So it's like to express like, you never know.
06:01You never know who has those kinds of stories.
06:04I was so surprised when I did the research,
06:09like meeting all those different stories,
06:11you know, from very different backgrounds
06:14and people talking about their loss.
06:16So I wanted to express that actually,
06:19instead of just, you know, put a happy ending.
06:21And also, you know, this movie is as much about loss,
06:24as much about life, you know,
06:26and that is also a very important issue
06:29or message for us.
06:31That is, you have to move on
06:33and it's part of the circle of life.
06:38Okay, thank you so much.
06:40Thank you.
06:41Great movie, by the way.
06:42Thank you.
06:44Have a nice day.
06:45Thank you.
