[on her screenplay for "A Monster With a Thousnd Heads" and on her screenplays for other films depicting a sense of class difference and mothers in extreme situations]Although you don't attempt to show it, one has a point of view on things and it ends up emerging, whether you like it or not. Our films (with director/husband Rodrigo Pla) often turn on the limits of the public and the private, the individual confronting the state, and what happens when that individual is defenseless. That comes basically from the country where we live, where we suffer a high level of defenselessness vs. the government, where the government not only does not aid citizens in their problems but rather often helps create those problems. The state of helplessness is one of the motors of what we write. Regarding why we often portray female characters, I think the question is really: Why don't other people portray them more?
