It's like, there exists no blue flowers in the world.

It doesn't exist.

You create it and this is not realistic.

And I say, I've seen blue flowers.

You know, so I think these little things were like, what's going on here?

Like, why there are two different worlds?

Why is it so limited and so rigid about what you have to think, what you...

For example, I had a lot of difficulty with exams because they gave you, let's say, 15 questions with the answers from which five will be on the exam.

And you have to learn by heart.

And I don't have good memory like that.

So I had to understand in order to answer the question, you know.

And it was very hard.

And I started having these small micro doubts.

Also the freedom my mom had with me, the freedom and the love for freedom of expression and to develop yourself as much as you can, you know.

And other people were predisposed to, you know, a ceiling that was done for them and didn't dare to go beyond that.

They were very strict about realism.

Imagination is not a place to go because imagination is very dangerous in a dictatorship.

And they teach you this since you are kids, you know.

I know it's not that radical, this little gesture, but I wanted to distance myself from my father and what that meant.

Not him as a person, as a father figure, but what he meant.
