And I highlight the famous terms that are used there, and I remember that the director asked us to adhere to the role and not take it to a second angle, especially since I was trying to add a kind of light comedy to it, to break its intensity. The dialect is from Damietta, and they used to stand on the word, and disrupt the imaging if we spoke improperly, as there was a state of intense attention and concentration.
