The Catalan actor stars, along with Elena Andrada, 'Marta's Journey (Staff Only)', a drama set in Africa

He is a habitual French film artist and recently completed his participation in Woody Allen's latest film, Sergi López (Vilanova i la Geltrú, Barcelona, ​​1965) acknowledges feeling grateful for the opportunities that are presented to him. Wherever they are. Therefore, it should not surprise anyone who, in Marta's Journey (Staff Only) , has had no qualms about dancing almost in leathers in Senegal in a Spanish production in which her character faces the delicate moment of telling his daughter (Elena Andrada) that life is full of mistakes . And that from all you learn.

Trailer 'Marta's Journey (Staff Only)'

What do you think about the relationship your character has in this story with his daughter? I think the point of view used by Neus Ballús, the director, is very brave and intelligent. Manel, my character, is presented at the beginning as the perfect example of the absent father. But, as time passes, you see that he acts like many others in a situation that is very common. So Manel is neither good nor bad, but a human being who does what he can with his daughter. Because it is difficult to approach a young woman at certain times. Above all, when he thinks he knows what the world is like. An almost impossible task ... Of course. And I tell you as a father. Anyway, what I like most about this story is that it puts you before the idea of ​​meeting the other. That is, with the one in a different place from yours. Although we are all together, it is good to know that we are different. Would you then recommend to parents to watch this film in the cinema accompanied by their children? And so much. I would like you to see what you have to let them do. When your children become adults, they may do things you don't like. But it is important to respect their decisions. And you never have to tell them how things are done. Because even you are not sure how it should be done ....

The young Elena Andrada dazzles in this tape.

Did you talk to the director of the autobiographical burden this tape has? It's not exactly what happened to her. But there is a lot of what she lived in the first person. As far as I know, Neus went to live in Africa with friends in an unpaved town. He arrived with his backpack and the first thing he found was that he had a hard time communicating with people. And that hurt almost as much as seeing tourists taking a mojito in the hotels at the same time that she lived in a very modest house. You have always displayed a peaceful life in your town between one project and another. Are you still listening to your lifelong friends? It's very funny, because they are the ones that really lower me from the heights by telling me what they do just as I tell them what I do. They ask me about Woody Allen and they still haven't seen almost anything about him! (laughs) But I really appreciate what they tell me. They help me a lot to get in my place. Sometimes I feel sorry to see how lucky I am.
