clear lake (Madrid, 1990) we saw you grow from our screen. ‘Compañeros’, ‘Carol’s Journey’ and ‘Hospital Central’ were his introductory letters as a child and served as the starting point for a long career of blockbuster hits like ‘Eight Basque surnames’. next september 28 Premiere of ‘Limbo’ Disney+an Argentine TV series starring rich girl with a dark pastIt’s somewhere between ‘Succession’ (it’s because of the millionaires’ bad milk) and ‘Euphoria’ (due to the trauma of a protagonist who speaks in a ‘closed’ voice what he’s drawn to). Behind this plot are Argentine directors and producers Mariano Cohn and Gastón Duprat (‘Official Competition’, ‘The Glorious Citizen’).
He specializes in the Argentine accent, which he has shown to have mastered in films such as ‘End of the Tunnel’ and ‘The Tale of the Weasels’. Although here she managed to make it more her own.
What happens is that my character Sou is the daughter of an Argentinian family and grew up there, but at the age of 12, she leaves Spain and stays in the country due to the circumstances that will be described in the series. Fortunately, in this case, an accent that could have been a little looser didn’t have to be a perfect porteño. This gave me more freedom to feel more comfortable and Argentine and Spanish hybrid. Basically, I was able to straighten my way out a bit.
Was the change of ‘look’ to blonde a requirement of the character or is the new image due to other reasons?
I suggested this too. I believe it i wanted to be blonde And I saw the event! The character is strong, strong, has character, carries the whole series, and the director and I wanted it to look very different. We offered to do my hair platinum and I liked it.
Sou is quite contradictory: she says she likes to be with people as soon as the drama starts, but when surrounded by people she seems very isolated.
But I think it happens a lot: having a very social face, a lot of hedonism, superficial pleasure, and on the other hand an almost antisocial point, the need to turn to oneself to connect. For me, that closed voice that narrates the whole series, consciously or unconsciously, would be like the conscience speaking in moments of greater connection. It is the period in which Sou’s frivolous, superficial, capricious, disrespectful and irresponsible side is most visible in the first episodes. He’s not an easy character to get along with, as he’s so used to having things done his own way and getting along. has little patience and little capacity for disappointment. But he has a good heart, and above all, he has a history of great pain and abandonment. The ‘Limbo’ journey for me is for Sou to come in contact with these wounds and learn to heal them and from there get to know herself, her family and find her place.
It seems that Sou is very lost.
He’s so lost, he doesn’t know what it is. The problem of lack of self-awareness happens a lot in life. Internal processes are taking place whether we are aware of it or not, and the problem that we are not aware of is that then they can take over you and you go like a weather vane without realizing it, you believe that it was you who did it. decisions, but not really like that. So being a therapy fan, I’m so nerdy about all this stuff. I think everyone should do therapy. I do therapy as a sport because I find self-knowledge exciting. and very necessary to learn to be happier. If not, we have some mechanisms that can play tricks and boycott you right away. Sofia is full of them.
Sou’s love-hate relationship with her recently deceased father is one of the mainstays of the series. Very striking.
Throughout the series, it becomes a little bit clear what that past was and what Sou’s wounds were. Her relationship with her father and brothers is complicated because she has been deeply injured. It’s not her decision for Sou to go to Madrid to live at the age of 12 and stay there… So, when she doesn’t have the will to open Pandora’s box a little bit, you start putting on patches and camouflage yourself. as these wounds survival mechanismBut that pain and resentment is out there, and the way to heal them is to roll up your sleeves and get into the mud.
“I hate ‘actors’ like all actors”
Was the character written for you or was it chosen by ‘acting’?
I didn’t have to do that here and I was very grateful because like all actors I hate ‘actors’.
Disney+ trusts the show because they’re shooting the second season before the first season even airs. Something not so common these days…
They bet big. That’s a very good sign that they liked what they saw in season one enough to bet on it a second before it was released.
