Camera: Ailen Desiree Montes. Interview with Brazilian Oscar nominee Fernanda Torres. Translation: 1. "Since the film received that standing ovation in Venice, I realized it could grow. I gave up everything I had to do because I knew it would be months of hard work. And we worked very honestly on this film. The main effort was to ensure the film was seen, especially since it’s spoken in Portuguese—not even Spanish, which has a much larger global community, right? Brazil is isolated by language and the ocean". 2. "Then came the Oscar nomination. I didn’t expect it because it’s been such a strong year for actresses with extraordinary performances, and I thought it would be very hard for me, speaking Portuguese, to get a nomination. I really didn’t expect it". 3. "On my end, I feel like I’ve already gone to infinity and beyond—it’s incredible what has happened. I have an immense sense of mission accomplished. I feel deeply honored to be among the five nominees. Each one is unique in their own way, making history. It’s truly beautiful, these five nominations."
