What made you want to star in this miniseries?

I had never played with a child in my life and it really interested me a lot.

When I read the script for

, the relationship between the character of Sarah and Diego touched me.

That's what made me want to do this series.

At the same time, I saw the work of Akim Isker, the director, and I really liked what he was doing.

I loved his film, a single for France Télévisions,

, which literally broke my stomach, it was so beautiful.

The relationship with Diego and Akim's work convinced me to play in this series.

You have a lot of scenes with Léo Durrieux, the little boy who plays Diego, how do you work with such a young actor?

By being a child!

It's not easy for the director who really has to frame things, but I became friends with Léo.

We hit it off the second we met.

There was something immediate and easy between us.

And we laughed during the whole shoot.

And the fact that we could laugh, feel comfortable and move forward together like that, it was great!

During lunch breaks, we did pool sessions.

Really, we had fun.

Which was not always easy for Akim who had a lot of work to channel us.

But once the camera was rolling, it was a no-brainer.

This little boy is amazing.

In life, he has absolutely nothing to do with his character, he is an ultra-sociable, mega-extroverted little boy who runs, jumps around and laughs!

This is where we realize his performance as an actor.

It's a real work of composition on which he worked with Akim and his coach.

It's super impressive that a kid his age is able to play like that!

How would you describe your character Sarah?

Sarah is a young woman who is torn between the desire to give her life to others and the fact that she is completely lost.

This woman loves children and learning from them, but she has experienced heavy traumas that she does not remember.

She's trying to move forward with that and it's not easy.

The relationship she has with Diego will precisely allow Sarah to discover things she needs to move forward in her life.

Did you meet with child shrinks to prepare for the role?

I haven't met a shrink.

On the other hand, I worked with my coach, an exceptional woman, Catherine Chevallier, who has followed me since my second film on acting.

For me, this job is still an apprenticeship, it's still very new in my life.

It's my fourth film project, so it's very fresh.

And besides that, I talked a lot with my little sister, who is studying psychology, a shrink in the making.

It was very interesting.

Sarah is in a relationship with Romain, played by Soufiane Guerrab, how do you build such chemistry?

Does it work?

Of course she works!

I am someone who is quite reluctant to physical contact, whether in real life or on a set.

I don't like it too much.

I was very lucky because I found a director and an actor who completely respected that.

They supported me in adapting to this role and building this relationship.

We didn't know each other with Soufiane, we had met once or twice.

Soufiane is a brilliant actor, but also a very respectful guy, who brought me a lot and carried me to the series.

Did you like this first experience in the world of series?

Do you want to start over?

The big difference is the rhythm!

It's much more intense!

The number of useful minutes shot per day is greater than in a film where there is much more possibility of redoing things and more waiting.

Me, honestly, it was fine with me because that's my problem in quotes on a film, it's to keep the concentration when you make cuts.

The fact that there is no waiting helped me and I liked it.

Afterwards, what I like about the idea of ​​a film compared to a series is not being locked into something.

I don't know if I'll be able to commit to a role that isn't a

.

I like the idea of ​​the miniseries, because it leaves a form of freedom.

No recurring role, but another miniseries, why not?

That's exactly it!

Are you a fan of series, and if so, what are your favorite series?

I will watch light series as very heavy things.

My favorite series in the world is

, a Neapolitan series that I find extraordinary.

Besides that, I have no problem watching things like

when I feel like killing time and something lighter.

The American adaptation of "Aries Family", "Coda" was a hit and won three Oscars, including Best Picture, did you see it and what did you think?

The success of the film was obvious to me.

It's ultra-amazing to see this movie because some things seem really similar.

So, to relive this moment by proxy, it was interesting and special.

The film is very well interpreted by everyone, but obviously, I focused on the role of Emilia Jones!

This success does not surprise me because this story can only touch.

She is so benevolent and open to the world, it can only be a success.

In France, it was huge, there was no reason it shouldn't be the same across the Atlantic.

In my eyes, of course!

You are preparing a new album, what can you say about it?

The title of the album will start with an "N", if I don't change my mind by then, but I don't think so.

I'm working on this album with P3GASE, but that's obvious!

As I speak to you, we have half of the album, so it's not about to be released, but we will sing an unreleased album on tour from May 6th.

I'm so happy, I can't wait to see the public's reaction, I hope they'll like it.

You are part of the jury "The Voice Kids", you are preparing a new album, you are on tour, and promote the series "Visions", how do you find the balance between all these activities?

I don't really know what to say to you, I've been doing this since I was 16.

I think I love what I do above all else.

If the question concerns my life, I organize myself like all working women.

All these activities are very compartmentalized.

It's a personal choice.

Music is my thing and I don't want to mix things up.

That's why I very rarely do projects, except animation where I sometimes agree to sing, where I sing.

I haven't sung in movies since

because I don't want to mix things up.

Role-playing is very cool, and it allows me to be a thousand people at once.

It's super fun to immerse yourself in new characters and sometimes be someone other than either.

The music is mine, and when I sing in front of people, I give them everything I have inside.
