"You don’t think about the result you will achieve, but about finishing it (the movie) well. Despite the difficulties we have managed to be successful. It is a plus (to go to the Oscar). I’m happy and I want to share this with everyone", said the Peruvian filmmaker.

This film is a co-production with Spain, so there are friends who should share this joy as well". "I have not spoken with Magaly (Solier) yet, but definitely we will call her. I send her a kiss. She deserves this and much more because she has worked hard and with a great effort. She is an amazing girl, an example for daring to dream and that yes, it can be done", said the Peruvian, who will be travelling to Los Angeles to be present this March 7th, when the names of Oscar winners are given.
