Mehdi Nebbou & Sara Giraudeau interview on Everything Is Fine (Tout Va Bien)

I am Iselle and I am from the upcoming in London so it's lovely to speak to you guys today likewise um and congratulations on this fantastic series um so perhaps we could start by youing us a little bit about what the story is all about what can viewers expect when they watch everything is fine to V everything is fine even if nothing is fine yeah they can expect a extremely well- written story um it's about uh a child who has a extremely uh scary sickness leukemia you say in English and um and how it impacts every members of the family in different ways but there is no pathos there is no mellow it's very original there's a lot of humor uh in places you wouldn't expect them it's very well acted and um human yeah it's profoundly human it's it's it's very moving but but on a very original way like not the way you would expect such a tragedy to be treated and can you tell me about both of your roles and what kind of attracted you to the script in the first place what made you want to take on these roles me will be short Cu uh um when I read the script it was um incredible because uh we have uh not the chance uh the chance has often to play uh a character so so deep emotionally MH who get confronted to a very very trag magc matter in life and the theme of the theme of the family uh the the the sickness of the child it's a subject very important interesting for me um because we can um we can the explore all the force and the F all the forces and um vulnerability and vulnerability of the human and with the fusion know that there is uh a lot in families and Mele uh mixed mixed to the conflict if there is a big tragedy in the Santa uh all is uh all is all moved every all moved it challenges all the established uh position and situations in life and and positions in in the family everyone is confronted to his own Solitude and the relationships between each other within each other uh get challenged and uh and and this series explore those challenges those changes because that's the pain [Music] that moves everyone in a very deep way and I think that each people who live that even the coule even the parents who have a child sick I heard that it was impossible for even if there is love even if there is the two Soul who are in symbios uh it's it's uh impossible to live the same uh in the same way this deep um uh tragedy it's a it's very different for each other of for each one of them even if you're a couple as a parent uh when you go through such a tragedy or such a fear that your child could die at any time even though your parents sometimes it divides them or it or they live through the fear in a very different way which isolate them from each other then it's like a different Solitude different people who who love them they want to live they want to to uh to feel to feel uh the things and to help each other uh and to live the the the tragedy together to help each other but it's impossible because it's like the life all the life who are in parallel come on to the uh everybody is in levitation like every member of a family even though they're going through one similar tragedy every each one of them has a very different way to to go through such a challenge and such a pain and and this is very well studied in this series from our writer CI the Castello and to answer from my point of view What attracted me to this project is what Sarah just said the talent of the writer CID Castello she's brilliant to me it's kind of check off but modern really and and the way she her approach of psychology of human relationship of the complexities of the dualities the contradictions of each one of them uh is really really brilliant and that that was very very attractive and on a more personal uh aspect regarding my character well there's a few characters that when they come to you in your life as an actor maybe for a boy you could say one time a boxer a gangster a cop maybe a cowboy whatever but whenever comes a clown this doesn't happen very often and even more rarely in such a well-written project so for me it was like a clown wow finally and and it's also scary yeah because you don't want to mess it up it's very easy to fall into caricature but what a challenge what a challenge me and obviously for you Sarah um you your character is very it's very interesting because you're a mother to Rose and there's you know obv see that's there's a lot of grief and sadness and everything there but you really show an escape from a situation you want to go and escape to smoke you want to escape with with you your character you know um and you want to kind of you know if when you return home there's this feeling of desperation to want to escape but you can't um and I think it's quite refreshing to see that kind of side of a mother's kind of grief because we don't really see that we normally would see you just focused on Rose but we see you as a person too so that feels really unique to the story doesn't it it's for that that I love love this character because there is a world the world the world inside her and uh a world that we don't we can't H but we can see what she leave and um and this kind of character that they can they they can in the tragedy they save she saved herself and cons uh she start to being to be to be uh to Mario there is uh the first one who is Liv this tragedy and with her with her character she tried to positive and she tried to to keep a Serenity uh the most time she can because she is in a family everything it's explosive then I think it's a girl who arrive after and when you have a mother and a and a sister explosive I think you you learn since your start uh childness childhood the childhood that to be to be to expect to observe to to reflect diff differently that what you see uh and uh it the first part of Mario and her Force for me and after the second Marion who know the side of her that's going to get she discovers along the way the tragedy give G give birth to another maram who is in um in um who needs oxygen she needs that the life continues because she you know she fall and um it's like in Alabama Monro I don't know if you see the film it's this kind of uh character that me if I am a mother who my who I see my child she can also another movie where the mother is facing death with her child she need to to to to choose it's urgently to choose her inconscient need to choose the depressed and the death because she has no Force we are not uh we are not Invincible or she need to choose the life and this uh she need she a part of her uh try to choose this this uh good way to just for St alive survive the tragedy for her daughter and uh and for her and for the family but this part of her needs to be secret because if it's if it's start to touch uh the real Mar with the real tragedy with the real uh D pain pain uh it's uh it will fall with her
