Notes and Images
Mattia’s character started out as a trendy and upcoming building contractor, after his illegal employee injures himself on the job, he was blackmailed to pose as his employee at the pastry course, he thus had to pretend to be an egyptian immigrant. Most of the film took place inside the pastry making course with 6 other characters from various backgrounds. It was important to fine tune each character based on their hypothetical backgrounds.
