  • Yes, just imagine,

  • Sexy nuns with guns.

  • That's it,

  • that's all you have to imagine.

  • Alba and Ava

  • So you're Ava on the show right?

  • Yeah.

  • An orphan that wakes up in a morgue,

  • and realizes that she has super powers.

  • Who's going to fight the demons,

  • along with an army made of nuns

  • Damn...

  • This was the best summary I've heard so far.

  • I think this is amazing.

  • Do you feel like these characters

  • and this starting point

  • is in some way the embodiment,

  • metaphorically,

  • of the female empowerment?

  • Yes, definitely.

  • I think that was the message they wanted to portray,

  • firstly, even before the plot itself

  • and the revival of the obscure comics

  • from the 90s.

  • That in fact,

  • it isn't feminist at all,

  • I'd would classify it more as misogynistic,

  • than anything else.

  • Yes, just imagine

  • sexy nuns with guns,

  • that's it.

  • That's all you have to imagine.

  • So what they wanted to do,

  • was really to revive the content

  • of these comics,

  • and only take out the setting in itself

  • and

  • and to create...

  • And give it a different meaning,

  • a feminist one.

  • He called me (Simon Barry),

  • and asked me "Hey Warrior Nun, how are you doing?".

  • And I was like...

  • "Hello Mr. Barry, I'm ok".

  • And he realized that I hadn't gotten the message,

  • so he said it again.

  • Coincidentally, all my family was at my house that night,

  • It was around 11pm,

  • I came down the stairs and just looked at everyone

  • and they understood.

  • Throughout the filming process,

  • I learned so much about myself

  • and skills I didn't know I possessed.

  • That I dared to dream higher,

  • Everyday.

  • If I wasn't shooting,

  • it was probably on the days that Joaquim de Almeida was shooting,

  • because we never saw each other.

  • So sometimes I'd have some time off,

  • we'd shoot at least for 12 hours daily.

  • And then on Sundays, we'd get together with the show's creator.

  • Myself and the other producers.

  • They included me in such a cool way,

  • that I was able to be part of some decisions,

  • and see what went wrong, what went better.

  • There was no need,

  • in this production for example,

  • to have a personal relationship in order to succeed in the professional

  • and I liked that.

  • Because I have an almost german like mindset, whilst working.

  • And I enjoyed not having to go through the process

  • of getting to know each other better,

  • so we can all get along at work, and do a good job.

  • Because I also like to be in my own little shell.

  • Public and private

  • I felt a bit of pressure,

  • I felt pressure.

  • Firstly, for having to feed the want of these new followers,

  • that appeared suddenly,

  • who are looking for pictures of the show, backstage and so on.

  • And I have a huge problem,

  • a constant inner battle,

  • with exposure.

  • What is the fine line,

  • that will represent too much exposure,

  • Or not.

  • So, I struggled with that,

  • when my followers suddenly increased.

  • Immensely.

  • But it's a matter of balancing things out,

  • to sometimes post something that you feel people want

  • Do you manage your own social media accounts?

  • Yes, I manage it.

  • I try to be true to myself,

  • I always think twice before posting something.

  • And ask myself, if I'm comfortable with it,

  • am I comfortable with the whole world seeing this?

  • Then I do it.

  • Standing up for a cause publicly for example,

  • it's something I do in my personal life,

  • I debate and discuss it,

  • and I educate myself on it.

  • However,

  • when it comes to creating my public image...

  • I have this...

  • I don't know what it is,

  • it's some kind of fear.

  • I don't want to expose myself in that way,

  • also because I feel like

  • for me to be standing up for a cause,

  • I feel like

  • I'd have to be completely engaged in the situation,

  • from the start until where it is currently.

  • What I mean is,

  • I'm not stating that I don't care about this cause

  • or that I don't approve,

  • or that I don't support,

  • it has nothing to do with that.

  • The Starting Point

  • It all started at an audition I did for "Miami",

  • for a short film of Simão Cayatte.

  • Patrícia Vasconcelos was the casting director,

  • and I was one of the 200 girls that went there.

  • I didn't even know what was meant to happen at an audition

  • So I was really exploring,

  • I was at that age, of discovering the unknown.

  • Since I can remember,

  • I wanted to be an artist,

  • I wanted to be a paintor,

  • I wanted to be a pianist,

  • I also wanted to be a ballerina,

  • so within the arts I've always had this huge fascination.

  • When it comes to acting,

  • my mum says that she always felt it,

  • but I don't remember,

  • but she knows best.

  • But after that audition,

  • for "Miami"

  • I was like

  • It was just a conversation (the audition),

  • and that's why til this day I'm so grateful

  • for this being my first encounter with the industry,

  • because of Simão

  • he asked me some personal questions,

  • and maybe even philosophical

  • and I was so amazed with that approach.

  • And we discussed the concept of guilt and then from there other things

  • Inspirations

  • Everyday.

  • I'd love to have been in Black Swan

  • I'd have liked that a lot.

  • That one I mentioned, "Victoria"

  • that would've been amazing also.

  • There's another role from "Stoker",

  • played by Mia Wasikowska,

  • she's amazing in it.

  • I'll have to say the first role,

  • and the last one.

  • Which was "Miami",

  • he's sick of hearing compliments,

  • he already told me,

  • Simão Cayatte,

  • "Stop talking about me."

  • But it's true,

  • Simão and Joana Santos,

  • they really changed things for me.

  • Sorry...

  • Warrior Nun, definitely.

  • Just for the fact that I was able to be involved,

  • in other departments and being able to evolve.

  • That was a really memorable.

  • Yeah.

  • The Future

  • I'm going to be shooting for a month now,

  • a feature.

  • By two French directors,

  • produced by Paulo Branco.

  • Which is a stunning film,

  • an historical one.

  • I'm super excited.

  • And then I'll be going abroad,

  • another European film.

  • I'm super happy.

  • I'm really happy with this accomplishment,

  • because that's exactly where I've been envisioning my career.

  • To balance it out,

  • with commercial content like a Netflix show,

  • with European cinema,

  • which is my goal.

  • And this film is exactly that.

  • The things that went wrong,

  • went well so I could be where I am today.

  • Yes, probably at 15

  • I was more in a hurry to,

  • go study abroad.

  • That was my goal at the time,

  • I really wanted to study acting in London

  • and today I'm grateful that didn't happen,

  • because life happened.

  • I know for sure that I don't want to loose my footing in Portugal,

  • I want to keep doing relevant work,

  • and interesting.

  • And important, in Portugal.

  • Because in fact, we have some beautiful projects here,

  • that not many people speak of,

  • so we must also invest in our little treasures.

  • Yes, I think moving abroad

  • is always a possibility.

  • I don't know, I'm still young,

  • I don't know how my life will be in a year,

  • Much less in 5 years,

  • I don't know, I have no clue.

  • It's part of the journey.

  • Actually, I'd love to study philosophy.

  • But,

  • it was during the shooting process of the show,

  • that really opened my eyes to...

  • Realizing that I want to direct,

  • I want to write,

  • Direct your own stories right?

  • My own stories,

  • to tell stories,

  • I would like that a lot.

  • The creator of the show, was so kind to me,

  • he allowed me to be part of the decisions,

  • of other departments,

  • to learn,

  • to be his shadow,

  • that's how you say it.

  • Meaning, to always be behind that person.

  • And to learn and ask questions.

  • So I was often his shadow (Simon Barry) and the Director of Photography,

  • Is beauty fundamental?

  • Even though you might go into the industry

  • Due to your appearance at first,

  • which happens sometimes,

  • we won't go that far, if that's all we have.

  • Yeah.

  • Right.

  • I remember that I went through some moments, some projects

  • that people told me,

  • "You're only here because you're pretty",

  • "You didn't even study acting"

  • Yes, I really went through it myself,

  • which was really hard,

  • but these are learning experiences,

  • and actually, it wasn't worth trying to convice them otherwise...

  • Because...

  • Alba, the polyglot

  • My mum,

  • she grew up in Germany.

  • So when I was born,

  • we were already living in Portugal.

  • And she put her 3 kids in a German School,

  • because she felt like it would be a good thing...

  • And she was absolutely right and I'm glad she did it.

  • The French and English I learned at school,

  • And the Spanish came with life

  • That phrase is so cute,

  • What?

  • I liked that phrase, it's nice.

  • Yes, because the other explanation is really academic.

  • Yeah...

  • It came with life,

  • Vida loca

Yes, just imagine,
