For example, the end of the series is a three-page monologue, all in Dutch,” he said in an interview in Luzu TV. “It was the most difficult thing I did in my life, I learned it through phonetics, that is, they are sounds that I repeated until they came out. I have the memory that my father, when he heard it, told me: ‘You will never be able to do it.’ “Tell them to double you because it’s impossible,” said the actress, although she finally managed to do it.
