During the film’s presentation at the San Sebastian Festival, Anderson acknowledged that her physical appearance has greatly influenced her professional journey.

This has been one of the reasons why I have embarked on this project and made this experiment,” expressing her appreciation for the director’s opportunity.
She shared that previously, she wouldn’t have been considered for a role like this, emphasizing how she sees her participation in the film as a ‘blessing’. “I was convinced I could do it. It’s never too late. I wanted to take off layers and be who I am, defined by my actions rather than others’ perceptions,” she stated.
