Starting tomorrow, Monday the 11th, you can see the new ElTrece fiction at 9 p.m.: Good Boys. The previews have already been revealed on the screen and four of its protagonists will be the ones who will tell how this story will reflect the Argentine reality. Adults will also be in the cast, who will play the parents, such as Gabriela Toscano, Luis Machín, Juan Palomino, Romina Gaetani, Brenda Gandini, Pablo Mónaco plus Marita Ballesteros, as an unconditional aunt, among many other names. The group of young friends who have known each other since high school are: Jerónimo Bosia, Ornella D’Elía, Tomás Kirzner, Carolina Unrein, Santiago Achaga, Gina Mastronicola, Rocío Hernández, Lautaro Rodríguez, Agustina Tremari and Fran Vázquez.
All of these young people worked in the audiovisual world, they even go on stage, like Tomás Kirzner, today in Votemos in Metropolitan or Carolina Unrein in Azul y la Navidad, in the Camarín de las Musas. Regarding Goodfellas, Kirzner says: “We come to tell a new story and we propose to entertain. The leading role now belongs to us, the youngest. It is a bet, encouraging and a vote of confidence, as well as a burden of responsibility to carry out a national fiction on an open channel.” Unrein clarifies: “I am an actress and a trans person, I don’t want to be a trans actress, I can play many characters. In Good Boys, the discrimination suffered by the LGBT community is very present. It is not a washed vision, there is the reality that we live, insults like ‘el traba’, ‘trabita’ or not calling you by the female gender.”
—Could you suggest changes to the scripts?
CAROLINA UNREIN: They gave me a lot of freedom to intervene because they wanted to tell Eme’s story in the most real way possible, so that it was credible and had truth. They knew they might investigate a lot and in fact they did, but they perceived that I would contribute truth. That’s why from the first day they told me that I might propose or say whether I felt comfortable or not with the texts. I had never done a daily strip on open television before and I was scared. I want to do it well and for it to represent me and people like me. They made me feel very comfortable, from the scriptwriters, directors, technicians to all my colleagues.
TOMÁS KIRZNER: We make the proposals when we are recording, that’s where the scriptwriters see us. It’s teamwork but like in the Cold War, since we don’t see each other.
JERÓNIMO BOSIA: The scripts are moldable, although you cannot change the characters. If you feel that some action does not match the role, we can talk to the director and there is the possibility of modifying it. We have a lot of freedom with this issue.
ORNELLA D’ELÍA: I really like working as a team. I listen to both the sound engineer and the cameraman. If I have doubts regarding my character, I discuss it and ask it. I talk a lot with the scriptwriters (Claudio Lacelli and Willy van Broock), they are very generous and leave the door open for some change.
—Are you afraid of the rating and the competition?
U: Yes, obviously. Most of us had never done open television, so we were not very familiar with this issue of ratings and now it is a word that we use almost every day. We want people to see it.
K: I don’t look at these issues as people might think that I do it because of the father I have (NdR: Adrián Suar). I never take my work as a competition, nor am I a rating obsessive, although unfortunately it is what determines whether the soap continues or is lifted, that’s why I know it’s important. I act and I’m not waiting.
B: These are topics that we talk regarding, because we wonder to what extent the public stopped consuming air fiction to switch to platforms. But we try to flow and when recording I concentrate on acting as well as possible. I very vehemently wish that things go well for us.
D: I would like us to do very well, because I know the work behind it. The effort of my colleagues, the technicians and the desire that fiction not die. It is a new project on the only channel that is doing fiction. I wish it had a lot of ratings. We leave the heart and soul. We are recording from Monday to Saturday.
—Do you think that your generation is affected by issues such as violence, drugs and disenchantment with politics?
K: I don’t think it’s from my generation, it happened all my life. For example, the movie A Clockwork Orange from the 1970s is absolutely timeless and talks regarding drugs and vandalism. Now the same thing happens. Beyond these themes, there are others, such as personal problems, the relationship between parents and children, or family abandonment. Regarding politics, there is a lot of talk in my environment. I don’t think youth are disinterested.
B: It seems to me that all the issues you mention pass on to all generations. They are social conflicts that are repeated. There is disenchantment towards politics, I feel it more in these hot moments. They are good kids who do bad things and that will transform them. Beyond what is good or bad…
D: I have mixed feelings. It seems to me that we are a much more grounded generation, with things clearer, relaxed, accepting the freedom of oneself and others. Today there is no social pressure with drugs or alcohol. It seems to me that something has been improved: you can choose consumption. I don’t feel pressured to do it, I think regarding what is good for me. It is important to take care of yourself in life and be more empathetic with others.
U: Specifically, disenchantment with politics is relative. Until a few years ago we had a lot of girls who asked and mobilized for the legalization of abortion, they also demonstrated once morest sexist violence. If I compare it with previous generations, like the one that lived through the democratic return in 1983, to which my teachers who had been active in political parties in their secondary school belonged, it changed a lot. When I was studying there, my classmates didn’t have the slightest interest in getting involved or discussing politics. There is a great depoliticization on the part of youth and I find it alarming. The issue of violence seems to me to be ageless, we are going through it as a society, perhaps due to the political, economic and sociocultural crisis. Good Guys reflects and is a portrait of what is happening to us as a country and society.
—Right now there are some laws that are questioned by certain groups…
U: Trans people have always had people who discriminate once morest us and kill us, but there are also the cyber messages that we have received for many years. There are certain far-right candidates who say they will remove abortion laws, equal marriage laws, and gender identity laws. They tell us that “they will have to leave the country.” They are threats that are very present in the militancy of a candidate and for some time, for several years I have been afraid of that party. Above all, with everything that happened in the PASO, we have to warn that if they vote for that one, we will be left without rights. He has been on television campaigning for a long time, he did not come out of nowhere, he gained followers little by little and generates violence, he and his followers.
