59th Berlinale
Lukas Moodysson tell how hard it is for each character involved to do his role well. This is about rich and poor, family and career.
Leo (Bernal) and Ellen (M Williams) are a happy couple with a daughter living in a posh loft in New York. Both are ambitious and successful in their careers. Gloria portrayed by M Necesito, worked hard as a nanny to save money and secure the future of her 2 sons left in the Philippines.
Leo´s travel in Thailand was extended and through this he met Cookie, a Thai prostitute. He clumsily fell in love but he misses his family in New York. Gloria suddenly decided to go home because one of her son was inured in an accident.
Ellen observed how her daughter missed her nanny.
Leo came home to his family, everyone seemed happy.
The film showed how each of the actors suffers from this internal conflict, choosing what really makes them happy, how to realize life to the full
In one interview, L Moodysson the director, said, that manpower from the third world countires are badly needed. He added further if this group formed a contingent, New York City ( just to name as an example) without nannies, househelpers, caregivers is impossible to imagine.
