Free Fall

Future Emmy-winner Marina Gera has a difficult scene in this movie, in which her character attends a party where none of the guests seem to notice that she is nude. Gera moves between 40 actors of the cast wearing only her shoes and handbag, showing her entire naked body. The actress said that when she spoke on the phone with György Pálfi , the director was in no hurry to reveal why the role was going to be difficult. "He called me on the phone and told me in half an hour in great detail what this scene would be about, but it was only at the end that he told me I was naked in it. As an actor, the body is our working tool, the main question for us is whether nudity really has meaning and function. Pálfi was a guarantee to me that nudity will be used well in the film." Asked how she felt being naked in front of the other actors, Gera said, "I didn't know the cast members playing in the scene. But that's exactly the situation where I had to walk and talk naked in front of strangers and civilians in a small apartment - it might be some kind of acting perversion - but it helped me a lot to make the woman I played more authentic."
