“Virginie lies to the point of harming. In spite of herself, she causes humiliations, describes Anne-Élisabeth Bossé, headliner of the feature film. The more I think about the lie, the more I realize that I do it often. I say it doesn’t bother me, when it bothers me a little. I do things reluctantly, because I tell myself that the other person will have trouble. Are some lies less harmful than others then? “I sincerely think that we have the right to lie. All truth is not good to say. In my job, we try to be the guards of our image and our personal life. Not everyone deserves the depths of my soul. Not telling the whole truth is a wall against intrusion, ”says the actress.

At the same time, he cannot be relaxed, because he knows that each lie can potentially be the one who will tip everything. It has the same point of view as the public. And when you switch, spectators start laughing and my life becomes hell, ”says the actor smiling. In life, he qualifies as “very bad liar”, but believes that it is sometimes a question of “survival”.
