Matías Recalt has become the great Argentine revelation thanks to his role in ‘The Snow Society‘, film by JA Bayona. The actor has been in charge of giving life to Roberto Canessaone of the survivors who crossed the mountain range to ask for help, a role for which he has been nominated for the Goya for ‘Best Newcomer‘.

The interpreter has acknowledged, in an interview given to Cadena SER, that it was not easy for him to make this film, and before starting filming he had to face to his own personal tragedy. “I came to the movie at a very difficult time, in a duel. My father died two months before, in the middle of the casting process,” he confessed.

Recalt has acknowledged that, at that moment, the film took a back seat for him. However, they were precisely the words of Roberto Canessa, the person he would play, the ones who gave him the strength to continue.

“He told me: ‘I never broke down in the mountains. My way of not breaking down was not to let myself get through my thoughts,'” he said. In this way, the survivor indicated that when night came he did not start thinking, he continued focused on his own things.

“To make the film I had to do half the same thing. I had to say, this is not the time for this. We are going to mourn in the mountains, but I have to save many things from my feelings down the carpet to be able to make this film, because it was a very long trip,” he explained.

The actor has recognized that deaths and mourning are emotionally and physically exhausting, which is why he had to go through this process in order to continue with the film. “I think we have that a little bit in common. that, well, in these hard times we choose to put it under the rug and move forward to be able to face the situation in the best way, right?” he confessed, moved by the memory.

A tough moment in which he also had the help of his filming partners, with whom he worked together during the five months they were filming in Sierra Nevada.
