00:46Hi Penelope, I'm Jolie, lovely to meet you. You look absolutely incredible. I love this film. I love how much
00:52love the film is receiving. You're such a superstar. You really are.
00:57I mean, you can choose to do what you want to do. Why was it important for you to do
01:00this film?
01:31What she does, Nene Romero represents for all of these boys, like Alvaro. It was such an honor. I never
01:41doubted for a second. I don't measure my characters, the interest in terms of how many minutes or hours they
01:51are on the screen.
01:51It was working.
01:52Listen, you're an icon. Lovely to meet you. Thank you so much. Love the film.
02:15How are you doing? I'm Jodie. Nice to meet you. You look lovely. I love the silk as well. Thank
02:20you so much.
02:21Listen, congratulations on the film. Olek's success so far. I mean, I know obviously you don't make these movies for
02:28the success, but it must be nice when you put it out there and everyone's loving it across all different
02:33countries as well.
02:34Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's been unbelievable, like the reach of the movie so far. When we were in Cannes presenting
02:43the movie for the first time, to see all of those young people standing up in an ovation, to see
02:50so many young people clapping to this.
02:54It was something that made us really emotional and to feel that they were telling a very Spanish story or
03:03a very local story and to see how this has suddenly turned into a very universal thing, that people connect
03:09with it, people embrace it, people see themselves in these stories.
03:14And I don't know, it's something very special. And I feel very proud to be part of this.
03:22Have you had anyone coming up to you and sharing what the film means to them yet?
03:29Yeah, I mean, I can stop like receiving like DMs about people that I think what makes me kind of
03:38the happiest is to see how this last week in Spain after the premiere, I went to the cinema a
03:49couple of times to see with some friends and to see how like a young gay couple like holding hands
03:54and being crying.
03:55It's something that, I don't know, it's something that makes you believe in how these films can change people's lives
04:03or at least kind of press a button in their hearts to, in a way, I don't know, to make
04:11them grow and to make them evolve and learn, I don't know, and I think that's the most emotional thing
04:17to it.
04:18Yeah.
04:19How proud do you feel knowing that you've created a piece of queer cinema as well that's going to have
04:24a legacy now?
04:27You know, like making, during the process of the movie and getting so closely, so close to my character, which
04:37is someone that isn't allowed to live his life, not to live his life, but like the hostility of war
04:44and like the context doesn't even allow him to question himself who he is.
04:51And if he gives himself that luxury, it's something that can be seen as something bad or weak, you know,
05:02because you're only supposed to survive and can be seen as something selfish.
05:07And it makes you realize about all of those love stories that weren't able to be told or to happen.
05:17And I know it's something that makes me very emotional and something with something that I connected a lot with.
05:27And one of the one of the characters of the film is someone that has lived this in their own
05:32in their own skin.
05:33So he wasn't until he was 70 years old that he was able to come out of the closet or
05:41even like he hasn't been able to live all of that shame that he has in himself and that he
05:50has been contested by.
05:52You know, and how a guy like Rafael is positional.
05:56Well, listen, congratulations. You did such a good job. This film is so special, so thank you very much for
06:02this.
06:02Thank you so much. Where are you from? Scotland.
06:04Scotland. I know, I wish I could speak Spanish, but nothing.
06:07No, no, no. I love you. I love your accent.
06:09But what I love about Scottish and Spanish, we both speak fast. Yes.
06:13I gotcha. I gotcha. I gotcha.
06:15I gotcha. Lots of love.
06:20You look amazing. Congratulations on this film. I mean, what I love about it is the fact that it's transcended
06:28countries and audiences.
06:30It doesn't matter that it's in Spanish language. People are really resonating with the film.
06:34I mean, what's it been like to see that reaction and see how much it means to people?
06:40It's overwhelming. It's thrilling. And overall, it's beautiful to see the stories you imagine with your mind, with your soul
06:49and your heart.
06:50And you put it on paper, then this beautiful team that put it into life. And then it's out there
06:56and people are like making it theirs.
06:58It's beautiful. It's such a journey.
07:01And how proud do you feel that you got to do this in the Spanish language, but also that you've
07:05created a piece of queer cinema as well?
07:07Thank you so much for seeing that way. I am very proud of this movie and what it represents.
07:14We premiered in Spain already and it's hitting number one at the box office every day with queues, like no
07:21tickets.
07:22It's sold out all over our country. And that means that the people connect with the message. It gives me
07:29hope.
07:30Guys, thank you so much. This film was so beautiful. I need to let you get on, but I loved
07:33it. Thank you.
07:34Thank you so much.
