It's impossible to be like them.
You know, when you are a Moroccan girl in the 90s in Morocco...
you think that you're ugly because you never see a movie with you, with someone who looks like you.
There's never a magazine with someone who looks like you.
So I thought, wow, those women, but who are they?
How is it possible to live like this, to be Marilyn Monroe or Lorraine Bacall or Rita A. Wurst?
It was...
extraordinary.
I admired them very much, but at the same time, it made me very melancholic because it was unreachable.
And I think my father was, even at a certain age, he was still the little boy in his bathroom looking at those girls.
He had an extraordinary admiration for them.
I like the fact that he was mysterious.
And I hope that my children will think that of me also.
I like the fact that he was unreadable.
And because it gave me the opportunity to invent him
through fiction and try to know him in another way.
And, you know, I don't really know.
Was my father like a mythoman, a big liar?
Was he just very...
Melancholic, depressed, maybe?
