Excluded. “Dolmen helped me to surpass myself”Ingrid Chauvin (Marie) explains how the summer saga saved her

If Ingrid Chauvin achieved star status in 2005 thanks to Dolmennothing predestined her to get this role. Indeed, in August 2003, the actress was the victim of a serious car accident, from which she emerged with multiple fractures, particularly to the spine. Moreover, at the time when the role of Marie was offered to her, Tom’s mother still couldn’t walk, as she told us.I react like that in life. Having things that seem insurmountable motivates you to be able to achieve them, and I think that these are good driving forces. Dolmen helped me to surpass myself. It was great because it was a real challenge.” she remembers not without emotion, before adding an anecdote from this period:I still remember when I was still in the hospital. I found myself in the corridor and I was standing. The nurse came in as if she saw the Virgin Mary. I was hanging on like crazy. That’s how I get through life’s trials, not easily, but with that strength, to always hang on.”

Dolmen : “It’s the best memory of my career”Ingrid Chauvin (Marie) looks back with emotion on the filming in Brittany

If the saga was filmed in 2004, at the time Ingrid Chauvin had already resumed filming of the Women of the lawA series of projects which allowed the actress to learn to work differently. “I remember that I had just finished filming an episode of Femmes de Loi and I found myself thrown onto the train, to leave for Dolmen, with six scripts under my arm. I didn’t have time to prepare much. It’s clear that this series taught me to work on instinct. As a result, we are more in listening, in receiving the emotion, and the truth of what we send back. Today, I continue to do that in Tomorrow Belongs to Us, because it goes quickly too.” What is certain is that Ingrid Chauvin still has as much smile in her voice when she talks about Dolmen. “L’impact that the series had on me was so strong on the public. It remains a historical record. I consider that I was lucky enough to experience that at least once in my life. And it’s true that in terms of the role and the filming, it’s the best memory of my career. Because it’s exceptional, in every sense of the word.” she concluded, with a smile on her lips.
