[on
Pieces of a Woman (2020)] I wanted to talk about a taboo, which I think really exists. Women who lose their babies are so relegated to isolation. People (around them) just don't know how to deal with these losses and tragedies, both within society and family. That was the origin. Then, I also wanted to put the story in an environment that I know, and am close to. So I chose this family of Holocaust survivors. Our main character (Martha, played by
Vanessa Kirby) is a third generation Holocaust survivor. So the question is how they deal with tragedies and what are the imprints that we give to our children. [2020]
