Actress, Madrid, 1972. Next Friday, May 15, she premieres 'La Unidad' in Movistar, a series inspired by the fight against jihadism of one of the most secret police units. She plays Carla, a chief curator who exists in real life.

How are you doing the domestic confinement? Well, you catch me a little angry because I just found out that we probably won't go to the next phase in Madrid. There is a great lack of responsibility for what can and cannot be done. It is good not to scare the population, but if we do not follow the rules it is impossible for this to go well. These days we all know someone who skips them ... Before yesterday I went out into the street and I saw it very clearly. Yes, there are people I know who cannot bear such a thing. Or he does not want to, and that is very sad. It is very exhausting because you can not do anything other than yours. Are you one of those who think that this will be changed? At home there has been a reflection, we intend to change habits. I think young people are the ones who are going to take us out of this story. I see it in the children of friends who suddenly ask their parents to change their way of eating, who want a different world. Those who are 20 years old are so eager to live that their fear is gone. And when fear goes away is when the important changes begin. Do we now have the body for a series on jihadism? Terrorism is something that we have always lived with, before it was that of ETA, now that we live in a globalized world, it is jihadism. The series shows those who combat such a brutal reality. The system ensures that we don't find out anything. Discretion is key in the series, because the success of the unit lies in the fact that no one knows what they achieve. The writers spent months living with the Police. The director, Dani de la Torre, was even in some operation. Everything you see is real. I know that in the Police, where they have already seen it, they are very proud. We had to give voice to security forces that we do not know. Two weeks ago, one of the most wanted terrorists in Europe was arrested, who was confined in Almería. It was not something very popular in the press for the coronavirus, but it shows that the threat is still there. We are used to other types of fictions: the hero or cursed police, or the neurotic investigator of 'Homeland'. But everyone here is, or seems, normal. It is that the Americans are more ostentatious ... here there is no room for hesitation, the word hero did not enter our vocabulary. The series is about highly sacrificed people. Many times their families don't even know what they are doing, that's why they are such a close team. When they get home, few can speak. Like my character, Carla, who exists in real life. Yes, she was very generous to me. Send a lot and send very well. She is very nice, very feminine. He told me about sleepless nights, about complicated personal situations ... but he really likes what he does. Save lives. His is very extreme. In the series an agent has the career-oppositions-baby dilemma. It is the pure reality. When they give you a chance you have to prove three times as much as a man. That happens to all of us and it will continue to happen for a while. Everything should be more egalitarian and thus we would avoid this type of conversation. Have you already thought about the first thing you will do when we reach something similar to normality? What I most want is to get out of the city. Go with my boyfriend to the field, climb a mountain and pay my respects to nature. I almost see it as an act of penance ...
