It then happened that a young actor, aged 17-18, was thrown out of the room where he met with two filmmakers.
I got kicked out because Sophia’s wine was splashed on the wall. […] At the top we realized there was no corkscrew, […]. We started wondering what to do, and one of them heard about a way to open a bottle. You wrap it in a towel and bounce it against the wall. And he hit the towel four or five times and at one point it all exploded. The whole room was covered with red dots. Then there was silence, they looked at each other and decided that they would go. I was left alone with it, I went to bed and in the morning I went to take photos. When I returned, there was a suitcase waiting for me and I was banned from entering.
