Jacques showed us one of the most dangerous characters, who was also imprisoned in his own body, in his own world. He takes you on a journey where he seeks his own redemption, he becomes her. They seek their own redemption. You’re there, rooting for them. You almost think they will get out of here. I would just ask to be open, have an open heart, an open mind, and allow yourself to go on a journey».
