Mélanie Thierry plays Anna, a 34-year-old woman, who lives with her husband, her two little boys and Simon, a child placed with them by Social Assistance since the age of 18 months, who is now 6 years old. One day, Simon’s biological father expresses a desire to regain custody of his son. It is heartbreaking for Anna, who cannot bring herself to let go of the man who has always called her “Mom”…
To ensure the promotion of this film, the companion of the singer Raphaël made the rounds of television sets and multiplied the interviews. Questioned by Konbini, the pretty blonde confided behind the scenes of the filming of certain films. The opportunity for her to reveal what was the scene that she apprehended the most. “I had met Terry Gilliam who was a bit of my hero. And then he told me that’s it for the scene which is in space, we’re completely broke, we don’t have a lot of money, so we won’t be able to do that on a green background with cables to hold you down. We’ll have to do it underwater,” she explains, speaking of the filming of the film “Zero Theorem” released in 2013…
A complicated scene to shoot
Arrived in Romania, the actress who ignored the fact that she is actually terrified of putting her head under water, must start filming the famous scene. “I had to take classes with bottles and everything… I had to be naked, then there was a lot of text underwater. So I had to learn to be like a fish in water, eyes wide open and they had put milk in the water to have the blurred side of the image…” she then told. “I couldn’t see the camera, I was in cold milk at 10°, naked, and I was completely panicking,” she concluded, laughing.
