Il professore (2019)] Another thing that greatly influenced my film and the script-writing process was a statistic made at the European level which asked if rape can be justified in certain circumstances. If the victim drinks alcohol, if she goes to his apartment, if she doesn't say a decisive 'no.' Thirty percent of Europe said it was justified; in Romania, it was 55%. We are the top. This modified my script. In the beginning, everything was more aggressive. And then I went to that limit where the 55% thought it was justified. I would like, ideally, that those 55% will see all those circumstances and that they're opinion in the end will be that this is not justified, this is awful. [June 2019]
