“If they had told me 15 years ago that it would be my debut, I would have signed it without a doubt.”
Speaking about the behind-the-scenes look, Hernández said: “For a few days we were scared that we would have to shoot scenes, but in the end we managed to arrive on time: we just finished filming the day before lockdown.
