• In the Paris of the 1980s, a mother who raises her children alone takes in a young homeless person.

  • Noée Abita, seen recently in “Slalom”, embodies this fragile and courageous girl.

  • She notably gives the reply to Charlotte Gainsbourg always just as a benevolent woman.

We discovered Noée Abita in

Ava

by Léa Mysius, then the young actress confirmed her talent in  

Slalom

by Charlène Favier.

At 23, she is still just as wonderfully sensitive in

Les Passagers de la nuit

by Mikhaël Hers.

She plays a wandering young girl who finds refuge in the family of a divorced woman played by Charlotte Gainsbourg.

“My character finds a listening ear to which she is not used to with this woman who raises her children alone and who has learned to survive in adversity”, explains Noée Abita to

20 Minutes

.

In the Paris of the 1980s, this young drug addict discovers tenderness with this maternal substitute but also with her children, her daughter and her son who becomes a little too attached to this lost girl.

The fear of losing

"She runs away as soon as she feels loved because she is afraid of losing everything," says Noée Abita.

She is convinced that she does not deserve this love and prefers to take the lead rather than be abandoned.

Her skinned character is moving by her distress as well as by her courage in the face of adversity and her addictions.

“That's what touched me about her, recognizes the actress.

She is courageous despite her apparent weakness, which makes her very endearing.

The young woman integrated into the family, which welcomed her with open arms, offering her lodging but, above all, human warmth.

“They have a benevolent look at her and even if it cannot last, they give her strength.

Benevolence seems to be a key word for Noée Abita, who also found it with director Mikaël Hers, to whom we owe the remarkable

Amanda

(2018) with Vincent Lacoste.

“He is incredibly gentle and communicates throughout the shoot,” she says.

We whispered on the set where the atmosphere was listening.

She didn't have to suffer to create this wandering young woman.

"It's not difficult to play unhappy people," she says.

It's like in life where it's more complicated to be happy than the opposite.

With her soft voice and her fragile physique, the actress brilliantly communicates the suffering of her dark and solar character at the same time.

“I still hope to achieve the dream of the filmmakers who entrust me with roles,” she admits.

She seems to be heading in this direction where the viewer takes great pleasure in following her.
