— I have 30 years of career and I saw Kleber start as a filmmaker. Before, he was a film critic and a great cultural promoter. Semper tive vontade de trabalhar com ele. I waited a long time for this. Located in the interior of Pernambuco, he is a director who greatly values the essence of the baggage that the local actors add to their people.
The actress is the great success of the film, indicated by four Oscar statuettes, and highlights the Pernambuco cinema:
— It is very special and deserved that the Pernambuco cinema, which has long been a reference in Brazil, has all this highlight. The great majority of my career was dedicated to cinema here, so it is a great honor to be in a film that speaks so much of our culture in a universal way.

In the plot, Hermila plays Cláudia, a woman who becomes involved with the protagonist lived by Wagner Moura. The long time was the first job of the actor:
— Eu já tinha esbarrado com o Wagner em prizeções. He was always very legal and respectful of my work, he knew what he was like. So, our meeting was not very natural, like two colleagues with mutual admiration.
The two of you star in frequent dinners in the production. Atriz tells how she faces the challenge of making sequences of this type:
— Not starting my career was difficult, but, with maturity, I understood that there was the body of my personality, my work instrument. I always have to work with very respectful actors, and those dinners are always done with minimal equipment and with great care.
45 years ago and mother of three daughters, Hermila talks about the decision to continue living in Recife, despite many of her jobs being in Rio or São Paulo:
— When you have a file, I thought about dwelling in Rio and checked to investigate the values. I concluded that life is very expensive and that the quality of life that I have in Recife, as I have won, is very better. In a financial decision, understand that they will not be able to talk to you. Furthermore, my case is new and my husband is a public servant, our base is not Recife. But the final decision was based on a conversation I had with Luiz Miranda on an airplane. He told me: “Hermila, where you are summer, you are looking for her. You face cinema, your work is ótimo. You are going to live in Recife, I am not thinking about living in another place, no.”
