Panaji, Nov 27 (UNI) Julieta Noemi Ledesma, director of 'The Son of War-Being Awake', which was screened at ongoing 47th International Film Festival of India (IFFI), has said that the film is a reflection of her her personal experience.

Talking about the pre-production journey of the film, Ms Ledesma said making the film was an intense experience and it took around ten years to produce it. The film was a reflection of her personal experience, she added. The Director, while responding to a question, said she likes depicting reality and true emotions through her characters and would like to continue with same genre in future. The film is a story about a son who decides to leave his family in the middle of a drought. As it progresses, the story unfolds to show how human values undergo a change and how the selfish and animalistic side of humans comes to the foreground in the times of diversity. Ms Carolina Lusa, Production manager of the film, said the film was an Argentina-Uruguay production and she was glad that it was being screened at the IFFI 2016. Pablo Rios, actor of the film, said it was his first experience as an actor and was a bit difficult to portray the character according to the desire of the Director, but thanks to the talented crew he was able to do everything smoothly. Ms Julieta Dolinski, Art Director of the film, described how challenging was it for her to create an ambience which was strange and silent, given the demand of the script, but she has tried her best to meet the vision of the Director. Jorge Anibal Roman, another actor of the film, said this was his tenth film as an actor but working on this script was an intense experience. UNI AKM RSA 1735
