Yes that's what we did on on -- -- that's -- Well -- I'm just not going along with -- I learned I think he really passionate and that's it I'll tell him tonight sustain friends ever see it that's going to happen so tell us a little this is. A mystery. It's. -- -- beyond mystery man who you play. -- -- I play India is like an eighteen year old and -- the film -- her coming of aids and had -- -- mean.

It'll be like a little bit uncomfortable. For some people. Because they did he definitely likes. Challenged the audience and is not get comfortable film to watch -- Yes I think it it is that it is kinda violent in a different tired and we your character is living a kind of sheltered life isn't yet. -- -- Very intrigued that it didn't and it's very much alone in a very classic way. And I think that when her uncle -- -- it's the first time she's really experience knowing somebody and somebody knowing. Yet so -- kind of infatuation. What we're seeing in uncle Charlie somebody who isn't what he seems there's. More and there's definitely this -- his charm and -- man of -- In doing that. When it's presented with a script like this one makes sheets one. It was definitely one of the easiest decisions in my anchor -- -- -- Mainly because it say -- -- that was really different -- anything I've played before it so that was really exciting for me and of course that director pocked with renowned and and it's such an original. Talent analysts. Yeah I was the sort of thing I read in light one sitting in instantly called back with things like yes I would love to do this. 332 out of that.
