00:00Valentina Ariete, movie player.
00:02Hi, this is Valentina, you're gorgeous, you're like the actress, shining in a beautiful world.
00:11You're the star, not me.
00:13You're really good in this TV show.
00:16And I want to ask you, have you made it?
00:19Because Vataglan Attac is so fresh in everybody's memory.
00:24So were you afraid when you had to portray a woman who experienced this tragedy that is really next corner
00:35for us, for everybody?
00:37So how was it? Was it scary or not?
00:41Yeah, I think it's like it's been five years ago, a bit more.
00:48And there's some people who experienced representing it on the screen very early after that, like two years after.
00:57It was way too early.
00:58And I think that the associations and the channel decided to postpone it because it was too fresh.
01:06And in France, it's been not, and I think nowhere it's been much represented.
01:12I'm not sure that we're ready for that in France, like French directors will not portray it that much.
01:20But here it's different.
01:21And it's like Israeli point of view.
01:26It's he was in Paris because it's a series that is talking about life.
01:33So he was in Paris just after the attack.
01:36And of course, it didn't happen exactly this way.
01:39But it's a transposition of the way he experienced it.
01:43And it's not my own experience of it.
01:48And I was also fragile about it.
01:50I was still a bit shaking everything that we were talking about it, of course.
01:55But I think that I respect his process, like, to really put it as base of his own biographical way,
02:13transposed again, like totally transposed to his Israeli way.
02:19And also his wife was working in an embassy, so all the bodyguard calls, like this is the way he
02:27experienced it, not me.
02:31Your character, the main characters try to be good parents.
02:36I think that this show is also about being a good parent or at least trying to be.
02:43So in your opinion, what does make a good parent?
02:49Oh, good question.
02:51You know, I just finished a book.
02:56I'm going to show to you.
03:03Deborah Levin, The Cost of Life.
03:08The Cost of Life.
03:10I think it's won several prizes in Europe.
03:13And I was totally amazed about the way she's talking about women's motherhood, saying that I think that we carry
03:24since ages the responsibility of being in charge of raising the children and being the house fundamentals.
03:38And in this story, we show like a total change of point of view in their family, she was home
03:47mother, working a bit, but he was in charge.
03:49And now he's like relocating in his own family, being the father, taking care of his kid, being also totally
04:00lost in the language with his own kid, like having this gap and feeling that he's failing as a father.
04:07And me, I'm working too much, Annabelle, and I feel I'm failing being a good mother.
04:14But I think that I think that it's the point of view of those parents who are afraid.
04:25It's also it's also been mine when I was preparing the series because I was working so much and not
04:30seeing my daughter, but I always brought the love to my daughter that she needed.
04:35Like she knows that if her parents are happy by doing their job and they accomplish what they have to
04:45do and they show him that life is just to to accomplish your dream, they can bring them to the
04:54kids, the best fundamentals in life to say to them, believe in your dreams.
04:59And some people who love you will be with you, like go with you on this, either your partner, your
05:06kids or you're all together.
05:08It's like a story of being independent and showing respect to your love and children by, you know, it's never
05:20that easy to even now, you know, my daughter, she didn't have the right to enter the room.
05:26You know, she's with my parents. It's like the story of her life. We're working and trying to, but you
05:31know, she respects the work. It's time for each, each, um,
05:36parents would moments or work moments. It's like that. I don't know.
05:42Yeah, yeah, you did. And the little kid speaking about children loves superheroes. He's got, um, Hulk mask.
05:54He's got to go to see Avengers movies. So in your opinion, in these difficult times, um, who are the
06:03real superheroes? Are there any superheroes at all? What do you think?
06:09Um, is there real superheroes? Yeah, I think the real superheroes now, if you're talking to me, are the women
06:18fighting for supporting each other, like, uh, to make things change in the,
06:24in the eyes of society, uh, to help the, the women or children who needs to, to, yeah, to defend
06:34themselves and to, um, I'm not just talking about defending the changing mentality.
06:41And it's a huge work to do about all these, um, uh, historical, uh, way of seeing men as a
06:53center of our life, uh, for, uh, believing that, uh, we have our own rights, our own, um, um, uh,
07:05uh,
07:11and I believe that the real heroes for now, if you're talking about today are the ones who are printing,
07:19uh, paper, you know, in France, in baguettes in the bakeries, they're printing thousands of paper who wrap the baguettes.
07:29and on this paper
07:31who are going to be in every
07:33bakery in some sensitive
07:35areas is written degrees
07:37of what you can accept or not
07:39in your relationship
07:40and they're raising money for that
07:43for women to be aware that they're in danger
07:45or they're safe
07:47and these are the real heroes
07:49they're trying to make little things count
07:51like for big things
07:54for big changes
07:56and there's lots of
07:57superheroes also
08:03light on them today
08:05this show
08:10shows us that
08:11we
08:14hear each other
08:15but we don't listen
08:17why is that in your opinion
08:20because we have social media
08:22we have cell phones
08:23we talk a lot but we don't listen
08:27why?
08:29what was the beginning of your question
08:31sorry I didn't follow
08:32the right beginning
08:35this TV show
08:36shows us that
08:37we can communicate a lot
08:40we have social media
08:41we have cell phones
08:42we speak
08:43we talk a lot
08:44but we don't really listen
08:48we hear us
08:49but we don't listen
08:51each other
08:51why?
08:54I think that
08:55Absalom and Annabel
08:57they have this
08:59common language
09:00that is Hebrew
09:01but at this precise moment
09:03of the fiction
09:04when they're arriving
09:05relocating from Israel
09:06to France
09:07they don't know
09:09which language
09:09to talk anymore
09:10together
09:11there's the French
09:12of course
09:13but they're talking
09:14a different language
09:15in terms of emotions
09:17they're on different paths
09:19they're losing
09:23what was their normal
09:26functionality system
09:28and
09:30they're still
09:31I think
09:31there's still a couple
09:32that is communicating a lot
09:34they're still talking
09:35very much
09:37but
09:37they're trying
09:39at least
09:40and there's lots
09:40of misunderstanding
09:42but at least
09:42they're trying
09:43and
09:45I think
09:47that
09:48there
09:48what we show
09:50from the first episodes
09:52is this
09:52panic attack
09:53that Absalom
09:54is going through
09:56from what they hear
09:58far away
09:58from the news
09:59as you're talking
10:01like media
10:02giving some sensations
10:03of fears
10:04that is bringing
10:06to them
10:06like
10:08that is feeding
10:09their fears
10:10more and more
10:12like there's not
10:12enough
10:13from the attacks
10:14it's like
10:16swallowing
10:17the information
10:18radio
10:19tv
10:19papers
10:20like
10:20and it's still
10:21happening
10:22like
10:22we
10:23are
10:25we have an
10:26overdose
10:26of fear
10:27if we are
10:29even coronavirus
10:31now
10:32it's like
10:32if you're stuck
10:33to the information
10:34and media
10:35all the time
10:35you live
10:36in panic attack
10:37I think
10:38you have to take
10:39this distance
10:40of being more
10:40in contact
10:41with the
10:42humanity
10:42like for example
10:45right after
10:46the attacks
10:47if you were
10:47just all the time
10:49in front of your tv
10:50and not meeting
