“He was a week in detoxification, because he had really hit bottom, and after that week I was able to visit him. We spent half a day together and we looked for a way to make everything work for him, because the most important thing was that he needed to recover and move towards his sobriety. That surpassed everything else. And he left rehab one day before filming began. So we met a raw and vulnerable man who appeared on the first day of filming, ”said the director.

“The biggest regret of my life is my divorce. Shame is really toxic. There is no positive byproduct of shame. It’s just a toxic and horrible feeling of low self-esteem and self-deprecation.”
