After the storm of a difficult time, she caresses a sweet moment of nominations, of projects, of changes.

Welcome to the labyrinth of

What is that sanguine actress?

We started strong... The only way I can explain where being an actress comes from is a drive in my blood, a basic and primitive need, something I have inside that I need to externalize from a very young age, and that only calms down when I'm working.

If she wanted to do something else, she couldn't. But it was hard for her to take the step... When there was a play at school she always wanted to be the protagonist, but not out of ego, but to spend as much time as possible on stage.

I knew that someone was going to discover me and I was going to be an actress, but I kept quiet about it for many years, I kept it a secret.

There is a false Galician humility there, that whip of "who are you to dream such a thing".

I was ashamed that they thought I was crazy, that this was impossible.

But it was not and with 14 years,

then. One of the things that we human beings yearn for the most is to discover what we are here for, what we serve.

And when you discover it, you focus and it's fulfilled, it's wonderful. And your parents wanted such a thing?

The actress thing, I mean... Or was there a tangana? They didn't understand this as a profession, but as a 'hobby'.

That's why they forced me to continue studying.

My father had always wanted to be a doctor and he tried it with me, but in the end I settled on nursing.

However, when I premiered 'La isla mínima' my mother told me something that marked me: "I didn't think that a son was going to teach me so much, and everything you've achieved has been done by yourself and you deserve it."

And now that my father is no longer here, because he left us a year ago, every time he is doing well for me my mother cries thinking how she would enjoy it.

But I know that he accompanies me. Come on, let's go to trouble.

I have been told that you have an interesting small talk. Yes, sometimes you should have a little more filter. No need, woman.

What are the causes of Nerea Barros?

Shall we take out the banner? The woman, always.

And I don't share that mantra of blaming everything on men, they are not the problem.

Now is the time to fight together, because we have already fought alone for a long time. Well, there is the feminism of a scrambler... I was taught since I was little that if a person is born a man and feels like a woman, they have to have all the guarantees and the rights to be able to realize itself.

Any other thought is obsolete, it divides us, it confronts us and, of course, it does not help us.

We women must reflect deeply, because sometimes we are our own worst enemies.More things,

now that it seems that the talk is heating up. The 'bullying'.

What is happening for one child to have to attack another?

And it is very difficult, when you are growing up, to assume that aggressiveness and understand that you are not guilty, that you have not done anything.

Those kids who suffer violence must be told that they are special and powerful, because it has happened to me;

As a child I felt very distanced from my classmates, I thought I was the ugly and incapable girl because they repeated it to me every day, and because they also bullied me every day. And what do you have with older people? In the Third World they are the wise, the leaders of society.

And in the West they become old, which according to the dictionary is something that is broken, that no longer works.

Deep down we are afraid to look at them because it is what is not coming, because it is what we will be.

And nursing homes, which should be the most incredible place to spend our later years, are instead terrifying territories that we dread, where the food is lousy, where professionals are scarce, where there is no money. She worked as a nurse for the pandemic, so speak with knowledge of the facts.

What was a girl like you doing in a place like that? From minute one of the pandemic I felt the need to film what was happening, with the camera and a sound engineer, to document it.

I was in the Ifema morgue or in Leganés, where I saw the relatives crying at the door of the residence, shouting and begging from the street that their parents were alive;

from within they told them that everything was going well and yet 50 elderly people had already died.

They were the people we had to protect the most and we were turning our backs on them, and that anger wouldn't let me sleep.

So one day I was filming in the Almudena Cemetery, I called a nursing home in Las Rozas, I said I was an unemployed nurse and two days later I was working there. And? I went in with the need to find someone to blame.

But what I found were heroes, my fellow residents, who gave their all and left their skin for those elders.

I lived terrible moments, where you came into a room and someone couldn't breathe, and you had to take a huge oxygen cylinder, drag it there and hit that person in the chest to see if that lung would react, and you put a mask on them and they you'd plug the holes to try to get some positive pressure, and you'd scream, and you'd cry, and you'd be so scared,

a lot... Authentic terror. And what is that about the filming of 'Operation Black Tide' saving his head? It was a very delicate moment, because when my father was sicker he was filming.

And when the only thing he had was anxiety, pain and fear, I threw the job.

I entered the set, I got into character and I forgot. You will excuse this swerve, but let's see if we come a little above.

You are nominated for a Goya as a director for your short 'Memory' and you have been nominated for the Feroz award for best actress with 'La novia gitana'.

How are we doing with vanity? I think we all have a little bit of ego, it would be absurd to say no.

After the storm, I'm in a good personal and professional moment. And comedy for when?

But we are in an intense state... I don't have that ability, I have others.

Of course I understand the comedy code and I would love to do it.

But it is true that there is a point of weight in my gaze, something internal that I am already wearing, that makes it very difficult. If you have even made an apology for dark circles...I have always been told that: 'You're tired'.

But dark circles are part of me and I like to play with them. To finish.

What do we ask of 2023? Carry on like this, I don't ask for more.

And it's true that there are very demanding jobs with very complex schedules... and you think you're not going to make it.

There are friends who ask me: "Aren't you exhausted?"

But I don't notice it, the energy comes from somewhere, and I only feel happiness.
