Appointment made at the Hotel Dame des Arts, in Paris.
The merry troupe formed by Guillaume Gouix, his wife Alysson Paradis and Élodie Bouchez came to promote the first film directed by the actor.
The pitch?
When Lola loses her companion, she refuses to attend his funeral.
In these circumstances, she finds her sister Margaux and convinces her to take her and her son on the roads towards the South.
An improvised trip that will allow them to renew the ties they had as children, but also to learn to discover each other as adults.
“
Amore mio
is a story of women, because it's the actresses, especially those in Italian cinema, who have always touched me.
Telling the story of a sibling inspires me because I find that the place we occupy in a family never changes: the youngest will always be the youngest for his brothers and sisters.
My two heroines, separated for years, must get to know each other as adults,” the director tells us.

They also discussed the character traits they share with their characters, what remains of their childhood ("the joy of the present, the desire to play, the curiosity of others"), but also on which sister Alysson Paradis (the sister of Vanessa Paradis) is in life (“very present, you can count on me, even in the real big moments of trouble”).
