Juli Grabenhenrich, Alissa Jung & Luca Marinelli interview on Paternal Leave at Berlin Festival 2025: Exploring father-daughter dynamics Juli Grabenhenrich, Alissa Jung, and Luca Marinelli discuss the creative and emotional journey behind their latest project, which follows 15-year-old Leo's journey to Italy to reconnect with her estranged father, Paulo. Grabenhenrich reveals her fascination with the intricate dynamics of parental bonds, which became the inspiration for the film's narrative. Luca Marinelli talks about his initial reaction to the script and the preparations required to portray Paulo, highlighting the emotional and physical challenges involved. Alissa Jung discusses the complexity of Leo's character, focusing on the scenes that capture her anger and frustration. Both actors emphasize the importance of authenticity and how intensive rehearsals and a strategic approach to filming helped achieve a sense of realness, making some scripted scenes feel improvised. The discussion also highlights the complexity added by the characters' language barrier, symbolizing their emotional distance and unfamiliarity. The film, shot with a mixed German and Italian crew, navigates this challenge while maintaining the narrative's authenticity. Grabenhenrich expresses the hope that viewers will grasp the film's deeper themes of identity, forgiveness, and the non-linear journey towards understanding and acceptance. The actors consciously avoid judging their characters, instead inviting the audience to empathize with their flawed yet deeply human experiences. The interview concludes with reflections on the significance of premiering the film in Berlin, a city of personal relevance to the trio, adding another layer of depth to the film's journey.
