We embarked on this adventure with no limits, no safety nets whatsoever. We wanted to truly build a story around the characters, so we met them for the very first time on set and then proceeded directly to shooting, which lasted 18 days. It was a challenge to convince all of the family members to participate in the project as well as to find a way to direct them subtly. In order to be both precise and faithful to reality, the script was written on a daily basis. Yet, by fully integrating this family's true day-to-day life it was possible to observe all its members' personalities and to spotlight their different weaknesses, doubts and fears.
