An issue close to his heart
With the rise of fiction on TV, the growing number of opportunities allows some actresses to choose the projects that affect them the most.
This is the case of Léa Drucker for whom
Vulnerable
was a choice of the heart.
She plays Elsa, an educator responsible for the assessment of isolated children and adolescents.
And in particular one of them, Bijan, a 12-year-old Afghan boy, whom she decides to host with her.
"There is a meeting that I find very touching between Bijan, this little boy, and my character of Elsa", explains the actress to Europe 1. She is indeed delighted to "be able to play the role of this woman who works in this home. , who is responsible for the assessment of unaccompanied minors, who get lost in this difficult mission. "
It is this subject of France's support for unaccompanied minors that attracted Léa Drucker to this project.
"What I liked about
Vulnerable
is first of all the subject: the situation today, in our country, of unaccompanied minors", she explains.
"There is something that interested me a lot, I thought there was an issue. Maybe because of what I had seen documentaries on the subject, but not yet fictions."

Fiction, stronger than documentary?
But deciding to shoot a fiction that deals with a topical subject can involve the risk of falling into the cliché.
"From the moment we make a fiction, even on topical subjects, we accept the idea that we are not making a documentary. We know that we are going to put the romantic in there", recalls the actress.
"But the question is whether this novel helps to draw attention to these subjects, which are subjects which seem extremely important to me, and which must be talked about."
For Léa Drucker, this balance between fiction and social realism is mainly due to the will of the teams.
"We must ensure that this romantic fiction is made with a lot of heart and a lot of sincerity", she sums up.
