I'm having a vacation, and it's so beautiful, and maybe I'll never get another film idea in my life.

I would say that I am a poor Christian; I'm not a believer. It was this idea very early in my life that life on Earth, nature or man could not be a creation of a merciful God.

I had to fight so much for the film. It was not very pleasant, but it's rewarding in another way. But it has not been pleasant.

If you tell a man what to do in real life, to which extent is it reality and to which extent are you in control?

I also wanted t do a film with a religious motif, a film about miracles. At the same time, I wanted to do a completely naturalistic film.

I prefer to work with unassailable ideas. And I wanted to do a film about goodness.
