- I was struck by the scenes in which the other interlocutor as the gynecologist or the uncle, you do not see their faces, but in the same scene is Lena and Ermano who are totally why?
I imagined those scene as an interrogation, it was interesting to see their diffulties and nothing else.
- Lena rarely smiles, but these are at the party and as she watches the children. Why did you choose these particular moments?
Because I think that those were the moments when she took off her mask and shows her real emotions, the more she’s far away from her goal the more she stops pretending
- What music does Lena listen to during the silences? (when she's on headphones and in the house locked up, on several occasions).
Sandra (the actress) is listening to Sans of Angel Olsen, about Lena I dunno, it’s up to any viewer
- Another image that has given me food for thought is when Ermano is in front of the TV watching a horse race, with his eyes fixed and his mind elsewhere. Have you wanted to make a metaphor of freedom or escape on Ermano's part?
Not really, I simply thinked that it’s interesting to see someone who doesn’t care about anything care for an horse race.
- Lena and Ermano connect after playing with Ermano's favorite machine. Why did you choose here and not elsewhere to start changing things with them?
I think that someone that is capable to let you see the other side of a coin of something that you know by hearth is someone that matters. Lena has this particoular quality of letting you see beyond the moment that you’re experiecing. it’s her light side that allows her to do that
- Lena talks to Ermano about changes and taking that big step of changing many things. Do you think it's okay to change, even when you're lost?
Absolutely yes, the idea to change it’s already a change
- In the film we see the maternal absence in Ermano's life and the only one we know something about is the father and what he tells his uncle and Lena, in a more personal way. Was this maternal and almost paternal absence in the script from the beginning? (And also that it somehow links them to Lena and Ermano).
It was like this from the beginning, in a movie with a lot of potential mothers we found interesting to didn’t talk at all about Ermanno’s father. At the same time we thought that it was interesting that Ermanno and Lena were both orphans and even phisically very similar, a little bit like two destiny twins.
- During a fun and wonderful conversation Lena and Ermano talk about changes and wanting to change, Lena says that it's okay to change, however Ermano is against this, why in the end these changes of roles or ways of thinking?
Life forces you to change even if you don’t want you sometimes. This is exactly what happen to Ermanno
- The sea is another link in the film. We see the sea as soon as Lena arrives at the house, we see the real sea, even the sea drawn on the wall and on the elevator doors. Why is the sea and not another element like an inanimate, silent, but constant character in the film?
I think the sea offers us the true horizon, in a movie where every carachter change his personal point of view on his desire i tought it was perfect.
- If you had to describe Solé with an adjective, a typical Italian dish and a feeling, which one would you choose? And why?
I think it’s subtle, a risotto milanese and it’s blue.
- Me llamaron la atención las escenas en las que el otro interlocutor como el ginecólogo o el tío, no se les ves la cara, pero en la misma escena están Lena y Ermano a quienes se les ve totalmente ¿por qué?
Imaginé esa escena como un interrogatorio, fue interesante ver sus dificultades y nada más.
- Lena rara vez sonríe, pero estos están en la fiesta y mientras mira a los niños, lo hace. ¿Por qué elegiste estos momentos en particular?
Porque creo que esos fueron los momentos en los que se quitó la máscara y mostró sus verdaderas emociones, cuanto más lejos está de su objetivo más deja de fingir.
- ¿Qué música escucha Lena durante los silencios? (cuando lleva auriculares y en la casa encerrada, en varias ocasiones).
Sandra (la actriz) está escuchando a Sans de Angel Olsen, sobre Lena no sé, depende de cualquier espectador
- Otra imagen que me ha dado que pensar es cuando Ermano está frente al televisor viendo una carrera de caballos, con la mirada fija y la mente en otra parte. ¿Has querido hacer una metáfora de la libertad o una forma de escapar de Ermano?
En realidad no, simplemente pensé que era interesante ver a alguien a quien no le importa nada , observando las carreras de caballos.
- Lena y Ermano se conectan después de jugar con la máquina favorita de Ermano. ¿Por qué eligió aquí y no en otro lugar para comenzar a cambiar las cosas con ellos?
Creo que alguien que es capaz de dejarte ver la otra cara de una moneda de algo que sabes de memoria es alguien que importa. Lena tiene esta cualidad particular de dejarte ver más allá del momento que estás viviendo, es su lado luminoso lo que le permite hacer eso
- Lena habla con Ermano sobre los cambios y el gran paso de cambiar muchas cosas. ¿Crees que está bien cambiar, incluso cuando estás perdido?
Absolutamente sí, la idea de cambiarlo ya es un cambio
- En la película vemos la ausencia materna en la vida de Ermano y del único que sabemos algo es del padre y de lo que les cuenta a su tío y a Lena, de una manera más personal. ¿Fue esta ausencia materna y casi paterna en el guión desde el principio? (Y también que de alguna manera los vincula con Lena y Ermano).
Fue así desde el principio, en una película con muchas madres potenciales que nos pareció interesante que no hablaba en absoluto del padre de Ermanno. Al mismo tiempo, pensamos que era interesante que Ermanno y Lena fueran huérfanos e incluso físicamente muy similares, un poco como dos gemelos del destino.
- Durante una divertida y maravillosa conversación Lena y Ermano hablan de cambios y querer cambiar, Lena dice que está bien cambiar, sin embargo Ermano está en contra de esto, ¿por qué al final estos cambios de roles o formas de pensar?
La vida te obliga a cambiar incluso si a veces no te quieres. Esto es exactamente lo que le pasó a Ermanno.
- El mar es otro eslabón de la película. Vemos el mar en cuanto llega Lena a la casa, vemos el mar real, incluso el mar dibujado en la pared y en las puertas del ascensor. ¿Por qué el mar y no otro elemento es como un personaje inanimado, silencioso pero constante en la película?
Creo que el mar nos ofrece el verdadero horizonte, en una película donde cada personaje cambia su punto de vista personal sobre su deseo que creía que era perfecto.
- Si tuvieras que describir a Solé con un adjetivo, un plato típico italiano y un sentimiento, ¿cuál elegirías? ¿Y por qué?
Creo que es sutil, un risotto a la milanesa y es azul.
