“It is from an idea I had about 15 years ago. It is a true story of a woman that no one ever suspected of being one of the biggest drug dealers that ever existed. She created an insane cartel and I went crazy for that story. She was Columbian, an immigrant and a very tough ruthless woman. She was a monster. It was a role for me! It was a complicated character for me, but it was my first film in Spanish which was so liberating.”
