Do you remember any special, mythical moment that occurred during the filming of Little pigthat I keep forever?

There are so many… The moment of filming the final sequence was very emotional, when the actors asked me to please, just before saying “Action!”, to hold their hands. Filming the sequence with Carmen Machi from the washing machine, in rehearsals: I couldn’t say anything, I could only laugh. The day we reached a temperature of 51 degrees and we were also left without part of the lighting team because they had Covid-19 and we filmed with the stunt actors hanging from cables and full of blood effects, with the equipment at a minimum. And other very fun ones, like finishing filming in the middle of nowhere, covered in blood, and then going to have a chocolate and churros. A lot of moments that I will keep for a lifetime.
