00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.000
I’ve been preparing this for a long time.
00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:07.000
I’ve even seen your first interviews.
00:00:07.000 --> 00:00:09.000
It’s been a while.
00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:13.000
I know, but you’ve always said that
your career was your biggest passion.
00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:15.000
I don’t know if you’ve
changed your mind now.
00:00:15.500 --> 00:00:19.000
Now it’s also my family.
I’m getting old.
00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:22.000
I’m fulfilled when
I have them close.
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:24.000
The emotional stability, you know.
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:26.000
I know.
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:28.000
Especially in this position.
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:30.000
My career and my family
are everything to me.
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:33.000
Sorry, my family and my career.
My wife would kill me.
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:35.000
If you had to choose…
00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:37.500
…would you choose your career
or your family?
00:00:39.500 --> 00:00:44.500
Hard question.
I wouldn’t like to lose any.
00:00:44.500 --> 00:00:48.500
It’s like, who you love the more?
Mummy or daddy?
00:00:48.500 --> 00:00:52.500
One is my stability,
my peace and happiness.
00:00:52.500 --> 00:00:56.500
The other one is my fire,
passion and life.
00:00:56.500 --> 00:00:59.500
I’m here to tell stories.
00:01:01.500 --> 00:01:03.500
Actually, I wanted to ask you…
00:01:03.500 --> 00:01:06.500
How far are you willing to go
to tell those stories?
00:01:06.500 --> 00:01:09.500
Anywhere.
My career is the most important thing.
00:01:09.500 --> 00:01:13.500
I’ve never chosen the easy way,
my films are not easy.
00:01:13.500 --> 00:01:15.500
Anyone would tell you that.
00:01:15.500 --> 00:01:17.500
If I’ve stood out it’s because…
00:01:17.500 --> 00:01:21.500
… I’ve faced society,
its troubles and shadows.
00:01:21.500 --> 00:01:23.500
You have to be honest with your stories.
00:01:23.500 --> 00:01:25.500
It’s true.
00:01:25.500 --> 00:01:28.500
So, honestly, what are your
thoughts on your film…
00:01:28.500 --> 00:01:31.500
now that the European Film Awards
are approaching?
00:01:32.500 --> 00:01:35.500
I’m very happy with the
audience’s reaction…
00:01:35.500 --> 00:01:38.500
…even when the film
has just been released.
00:01:38.500 --> 00:01:41.500
When you make a film
with such a social burden…
00:01:41.500 --> 00:01:43.500
…about a minority,
00:01:43.500 --> 00:01:45.500
you run the risk…
00:01:45.500 --> 00:01:47.500
…of either enjoyment
or lack of understanding.
00:01:47.500 --> 00:01:49.500
Light and Darkness is an
overwhelming film…
00:01:49.500 --> 00:01:54.500
…which speaks directly
to the problems we face currently.
00:01:54.500 --> 00:01:58.500
It’s a deep film
with an echo.
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:01.500
And Flavio Leon?
00:02:01.500 --> 00:02:05.500
I mean, does he have
any of those shadows?
00:02:05.500 --> 00:02:09.500
Like my daughter would say,
I’m like a Care Bear.
00:02:10.500 --> 00:02:15.500
But if you ask my assistant director
he wouldn’t agree with that.
00:02:15.500 --> 00:02:17.500
Now seriously…
00:02:17.500 --> 00:02:24.500
I think we all have darkness,
human beings are light and shadow.
00:02:24.500 --> 00:02:26.500
Everyone has something to hide…
00:02:26.500 --> 00:02:30.500
…and that’s what I’m interested in,
what I want to tell.
00:02:30.500 --> 00:02:35.500
You said in an old interview
how important your previous film was.
00:02:35.500 --> 00:02:40.500
It was almost cathartic
to tell your life and show it.
00:02:40.500 --> 00:02:45.500
I don’t know if it makes you nervous
as to what the response will be…
00:02:45.500 --> 00:02:47.500
…considering the last one
was a flop.
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:55.500
No.
00:02:57.500 --> 00:02:59.500
It wasn’t a flop.
00:02:59.500 --> 00:03:03.500
It just didn’t have the success
the story deserved.
00:03:03.500 --> 00:03:07.500
Well, I used that word because
it was what critics said.
00:03:07.500 --> 00:03:11.500
They said “a true box-office flop”
and the reviews…
00:03:11.500 --> 00:03:15.000
You know how critics are.
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:19.000
First of all, we should ask ourselves,
what’s a flop?
00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:23.000
I was very happy with the film,
and I know many people liked it.
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:25.000
I’m sorry, Flavio.
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:27.000
No worries.
00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:29.000
-It’s a great film.
-I know.
00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:31.000
There’s no doubt.
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:35.000
Maybe we should consider that
it’s hard to understand…
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:39.000
…especially if you don’t get the
main character’s point of view.
00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:41.000
His fears are far away from…
00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:43.000
What do you mean?
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:46.000
I’ll rephrase.
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:50.000
Are you nervous with the release
of Light and Darkness…
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:55.000
…considering your last film
wasn’t a flop, but neither a success?
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:00.000
Let’s stop.
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:03.000
Sorry…
Is everything ok, Flavio?
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:07.000
Sweetheart, this is not
how you conduct an interview.
00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:11.000
I know you approved the
questions through my agent…
00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:16.000
…and I know you have to improvise
and put emotion to it…
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:18.000
…but you’re stirring things up.
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:20.000
Don’t break my balls.
00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:23.000
I’m sorry, Flavio.
00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:28.000
thought it was important for you
to speak honestly…
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:30.000
Anybody got a smoke?
00:04:31.500 --> 00:04:33.500
Roberto.
00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:36.000
Roberto!
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:40.000
He’s my agent, for fuck’s sake.
Go get him.
00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:43.000
Take your time and we’ll keep going
when you’re ready, ok?
00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:47.000
Yes, let’s stop five minutes.
It’s hot in here.
00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:51.000
Do you want a coffee?
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:53.000
I’m ok, thanks.
Let’s stop for a while, guys.
00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:55.000
Thank you.
00:04:57.000 --> 00:04:59.000
You’re doing fine.
00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:01.000
You’re doing well with the interview.
00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:04.000
I can tell you put in the research.
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:08.000
The main thing is that
you get a good interview…
00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:11.000
…and I get a good promotion.
00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:13.000
That’s it, everyone’s happy.
00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:16.000
And we’ll cut that moment,
don’t worry.
00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:20.000
I’m getting a smoke.
00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:22.000
Susana Lopez.
00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:33.000
What?
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:36.000
Speaking of your success and flops…
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:40.000
…I’d like to ask you something
about Susana Lopez.
00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:45.000
Would you catalog her,
as a success or as a flop?
00:05:48.500 --> 00:05:51.500
I don’t know who
you’re talking about.
00:05:51.500 --> 00:05:53.500
Yes, I think you do.
00:05:53.500 --> 00:05:58.500
And if not, you’ll spark your memory
once it’s all over the media tomorrow.
00:06:02.500 --> 00:06:04.500
The interview is over.
00:06:04.500 --> 00:06:06.500
I’m done.
00:06:06.500 --> 00:06:09.500
I wonder what people will think
when they realise…
00:06:09.500 --> 00:06:11.500
…who Flavio Leon really is.
00:06:14.500 --> 00:06:16.500
What the fuck are you doing?
00:06:20.500 --> 00:06:22.500
Are you threatening me?
00:06:24.500 --> 00:06:26.500
Who the fuck you think you are?
00:06:27.500 --> 00:06:29.500
You’re just a fucking bitch.
00:06:30.500 --> 00:06:35.500
You have nothing against me.
00:06:35.500 --> 00:06:38.500
Be careful, because
I could ruin your career.
00:06:38.500 --> 00:06:40.500
That’s exactly what you told her.
00:06:41.500 --> 00:06:43.500
Do your reaserch…
00:06:43.500 --> 00:06:46.500
…I already sorted it out
with that family.
00:06:46.500 --> 00:06:48.500
I don’t know who you fucked
to get here…
00:06:49.500 --> 00:06:51.500
…but the game is over, honey.
00:06:52.500 --> 00:06:53.500
Yes...
00:06:57.500 --> 00:06:58.500
Sure?
00:07:01.500 --> 00:07:06.500
Some things are not that easy to sort out.
00:07:16.500 --> 00:07:18.500
Where did you get that from?
00:07:20.500 --> 00:07:24.500
You should be kinder
to the people you work with.
00:07:25.500 --> 00:07:28.500
What the fuck do you want?
Money?
00:07:28.500 --> 00:07:31.500
I want you to sit down and
listen to me, Flavio.
00:07:35.500 --> 00:07:36.500
Blackmail.
00:07:36.500 --> 00:07:38.500
Fucking blackmail.
00:07:38.500 --> 00:07:41.500
This is not a blackmail, Flavio.
Not at all.
00:07:42.500 --> 00:07:45.500
So what the fuck is it?
00:07:46.500 --> 00:07:50.500
We have some time,
I want to talk to you.
00:07:50.500 --> 00:07:52.500
No cameras.
00:07:52.500 --> 00:07:54.500
One to one.
00:07:54.500 --> 00:07:56.500
But honestly, please.
00:07:57.500 --> 00:07:59.500
Come on, bitch.
00:08:00.500 --> 00:08:04.500
Do you feel powerful
being who you are?
00:08:04.500 --> 00:08:07.700
Are you asking me if I like
to be famous? Yes.
00:08:07.700 --> 00:08:10.700
And right now,
do you feel powerful?
00:08:10.700 --> 00:08:13.700
Right now,
I’d like to rip your head off.
00:08:13.700 --> 00:08:15.700
I like this Flavio,
the other was too correct.
00:08:15.700 --> 00:08:18.700
I like this one, the real one,
the one who hides.
00:08:18.700 --> 00:08:20.700
So tell me,
have you ever taken drugs?
00:08:20.700 --> 00:08:21.700
Yes.
00:08:21.700 --> 00:08:22.700
Which drugs?
00:08:22.700 --> 00:08:26.000
The classic, marijuana, hashish,
cocaine, some pills, never heroine.
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:28.000
You’d say you’re above it all.
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:29.000
No.
00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:31.000
Do you use your power
to get what you want?
00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:32.000
Yes.
00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:34.000
Would you say you’re a harasser?
00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:36.000
No.
00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:38.000
Have you ever killed someone?
00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:39.000
No.
00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:41.000
Have you slept with many women?
00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:42.000
Yes.
00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:44.000
Have you ever slept with men?
00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:45.000
Yes.
00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:47.000
Do you cheat your wife?
00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:48.000
No.
00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:50.000
We’re not recording this.
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:52.000
Yes.
00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:55.000
Did you think you’d fuck me
when you came in?
00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:57.000
Yes.
00:08:57.000 --> 00:08:59.000
Well, now you’re being honest.
00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:01.000
Do you still think it?
00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:03.000
No.
00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:05.000
Would you fuck me if I was sixty?
00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:06.000
No.
00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:08.000
And fifteen?
00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:08.500
No.
00:09:08.500 --> 00:09:09.500
Have you done it before?
00:09:09.500 --> 00:09:11.000
What the fuck do you mean?
00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:15.000
I’m really curious, Flavio.
I wonder what you would prefer to lose…
00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:17.000
…your career or your family?
00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:20.000
I told you the truth.
I can’t choose.
00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:22.000
That’s a pity…
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:26.000
…because you’ll have to choose.
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:32.000
What is this game?
Stop it, what’s this shit?
00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:33.000
This is not a game.
00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:39.000
I’m giving you the chance to hide
what you really are and what you’ve done.
00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:58.000
Seriously?
Do you want to be a murderer too?
00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:04.000
You don’t remember me, right?
00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:08.000
You don’t remember how we met.
00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:12.000
I’ll help you.
00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:16.000
Twenty years ago,
I was sixteen.
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:18.000
Just a child.
00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:20.000
A child who dreamed of
being an actress.
00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:23.000
Do you remember now?
Or is it just the usual for you?
00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:29.000
It was your second film wrap party.
00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:33.000
A lot of alcohol, promises, drugs…
00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:37.000
You took off my clothes
and yours at the same time.
00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:39.000
Do you remember?
00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:43.000
“You’re very mature for your age.”
00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:46.000
“You’re very talented.”
00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:49.000
You kissed me so I couldn’t speak.
00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:53.000
You didn’t realise that my admiration
was just fucking fear.
00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:56.000
I told you I wanted
to go back to the party.
00:10:56.000 --> 00:10:58.000
I wanted to go back.
00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:01.000
You kissed me, you touched me…
00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:05.000
Do you remember what happened next?
00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:08.000
Do you remember me now?
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:11.000
Yes.
00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:13.000
I can’t hear you.
00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:16.000
Yes.
00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:21.000
Visualize what happened next, Flavio.
00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:30.000
And now imagine it’s your daughter.
00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:34.000
She just turned sixteen, right?
00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:35.000
No, stop it…
00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:36.000
Sara.
00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:38.500
Look her, always surrounded
by people she admires…
00:11:38.500 --> 00:11:39.500
Stop it…
00:11:39.500 --> 00:11:41.500
Stop, it’s disgusting!
00:11:41.500 --> 00:11:42.500
Oh, Sarita…
00:11:42.500 --> 00:11:45.500
It’s so easy to manipulate a child
when she’s surrounded by so many…
00:11:45.500 --> 00:11:47.500
-people like his father.
-Shut up!
00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:49.500
Shut up!
00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:52.500
Don’t bring her into this.
00:11:52.500 --> 00:11:54.500
Don’t bring my daughter into this!
00:11:55.500 --> 00:11:57.500
What do you want?
What’s your price?
00:11:57.500 --> 00:11:59.500
Do you want money?
I’ll give you…
00:11:59.500 --> 00:12:00.500
I don’t want any money.
00:12:00.500 --> 00:12:01.500
But you want something!
00:12:01.500 --> 00:12:05.500
I don’t want any money.
First, you apologize!
00:12:05.500 --> 00:12:07.500
Do you want my apologies?
I apologize.
00:12:07.500 --> 00:12:09.500
Apologize to all
the women in the world.
00:12:09.500 --> 00:12:10.500
I’m sorry!
00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:12.000
I’m sorry!
00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:15.000
What would your wife think
if she knew what you do?
00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:17.000
Don’t bring my wife into this!
00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:19.000
-What would Sara think?
-My daughter can’t know!
00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:21.000
Do you think your daughter will care your sorry?
00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:22.000
Do you think about Sara?
00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:23.000
Yes, I do!
00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:25.000
Do you think about Sara when you do it?
Do you?
00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:26.000
Yes, I do.
00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:29.000
And what would you do to the man
who did that to you daughter?
00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:30.000
I’d kill him!
00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:32.500
-Would you kill the man who abused her?
-Yes!
00:12:32.500 --> 00:12:34.500
-The man who cheated her?
-Yes!
00:12:34.500 --> 00:12:36.500
The man who put his dick into her
without consent?
00:12:36.500 --> 00:12:38.500
The man who came onto her
with fake promises?
00:12:38.500 --> 00:12:40.500
You abused me!
00:12:45.500 --> 00:12:50.000
Wouldn’t you say now
that you are a sexual harasser?
00:12:55.500 --> 00:12:58.500
Wouldn’t you say you’re a rapist?
00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:31.500
Yes.
00:13:45.500 --> 00:13:47.500
Don’t worry.
00:13:48.500 --> 00:13:51.500
This won’t affect your career
or your family.
00:14:53.500 --> 00:14:57.500
Ok guys, let’s get ready,
we’ll start now.
00:14:57.500 --> 00:14:59.500
Right, Flavio?
00:15:07.500 --> 00:15:14.500
I’m sure you know what you have to do
to get out of this with dignity.
00:15:14.500 --> 00:15:16.500
Right, Flavio?
00:15:29.500 --> 00:15:31.500
Ready?
00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:46.000
Ok, if you’re ok,
let’s begin.
