Lou Gala co-stars as Neifile.
She began her career in high school, but never considered it her “dream”.
It wasn’t necessarily a childhood dream.
I was admitted to the 7th arrondissement conservatory and that determined my path."
Gala seems to have fallen into the line of work.
It helps that she’s exceptionally talented.

Everything happened gradually and it imposed itself little by little."
Gala said about the role,
“I was in class and I was already filming.
My first feature film was when I was in high school, 16 years old or so.

Tristan Seguela offered me a small role in this film.
So there was never a real break between school and the real world.”
It’s an honor given to a young actor every year who has shown exemplary talent.
They are then often featured heavily in the festival’s marketing, giving them prestige and free publicity.
Gala said about the aknowledgement (viaFrenchMania),
“It’s really a pleasure and an honor.
I’m delighted that I was asked to pose for the poster for this edition.

So I discovered everything at the same time and it was great.
I remember that time was incredibly emotional.
I took a week trying the class and learning this special training.
I cried, and I knew that I definitely wanted to do that.”
While most of her roles have come in French productions, she did appear in one English-language title previously.
Gala’s French filmography is much more extensive.
France has always had a heavy impact on film.
Each decade of the 20th century had a lot to offer when it comes to great French movies.
It’s not a very original choice, but I’m not taking any risks in saying that.
(laughs) They are the best.
Her appreciation for the classic great actors also suggests her ambitions.
you’re free to imagine that we’ll soon be seeing her in bigger and bigger projects.
She said (viaHero),
“I just felt incredibly overwhelmed with joy.
It’s incredibly brilliant.”
However, it always seemed like too big a dream.
Gala said,
“It was an absolute dream.
I was craving to be on a TV series like The Decameron.
When she starts the series, she is almost insufferable in how she views herself with her piety.
I think everyone can relate to this.
We got to maybe realize what was important and what definitely was useless in our lives.
There is this subtle critic of everybody.
All of our characters have this grotesque aspect, and there is this grotesque aspect in everyone.
There is definitely something about that; everyone is taking themselves too seriously.
I hope people are going to laugh a lot at our expense.”
The actor playing Neifile can imagine exactly how someone would act in a similar situation.
