We virtually meet Carlo again with his protagonists Mia Threapleton and Saskia Reeves, playing respectively a daughter and a mother in the film. As Shadows is her first protagonist role after her debut in 2014, Mia Threapleton, who’s Kate Winslet’s daughter, talks about shaping her character Alma and reveals the suggestion her mother gave her to better approach the role. Both Mia and Saskia then comments on whether the world is going to be a better place after this constant waiting we’re experiencing that is so similar to what the two characters are living in the film.
