![]() Interview with Helene Cardona for Caralique her film premiering at Cannes Market 2023"Caralique is a determined, young fashion designer looking to bring color to the people around her. Constantly being told no, Caralique must learn to stick to her instincts and continually try again in order to achieve her childhood dreams." CARALIQUE is a new amazing and inspiring movie starring well known actress Helene Cardona. Caralique is a very emotional movie that is sure to gather lost of praise and sales during the Cannes film market occurring in the French Riviera this month. Helene has been so dedicated for this charming role and it shows, she is full of love, full of light and each scene shines with a such a special emotion. We were lucky enough to catch up with Helene Cardona for a little talk about her passion project. We do hope you will, indeed, feel the passion emanating from this movie and that you will support the release of CARALIQUE. By Emmanuel Itier What attracted you to this role?
Arlette is full of love. She is the heart and soul of the movie, its emotional core. The audience connects with her right from the beginning, through her creativity and passion for fashion, her resilience, her immense love and sacrifice for her daughter, until the very end. I loved the script from the very beginning. I connected with it right away.
What are the themes explored? What is it truly about? What is the take away?
It’s above all a love story. Arlette’s love makes it possible for her and her daughter to overcome and transcend all obstacles. She empowers Caralique to live the life she would have loved to live herself. In this way, Arlette finds a form of fulfillment through her daughter, who is her success story. Arlette is all heart and will go to any length to make life better for Caralique. She conjures up magic out of anything. Hers is a magical world. I was reminded of Gabriel García Marquez’s magical realism. Arlette is an ode to mothers and all they sacrifice. She does everything in her power to help her daughter Caralique succeed in life and in fashion.
