It all starts here, Sabine Perraud: "Constance will experience an existential crisis…"

Minor and major tangles await your character, Constance Teyssier. Tell us…

Sabine Perraud : Yes, she is experiencing an existential crisis. She feels like she’s missing out on a lot of things in her life. Constance wanted to become a doctor when she was younger, but she had to give up her dream to support the career of her husband, chef Emmanuel Teyssier (played by editor’s note Benjamin Baroche). She later raised her two children, Charlène (Pola Petrenko) and Théo (Khaled Alouach), after which she became a nurse.

How does Constance’s discomfort manifest itself?

Between a husband monopolized by her job and children on the run, Constance is abandoned and deeply saddened. This makes him more and more emotional and irritable.

How does her husband treat her?

Emmanuel has it. He listens to her, but cannot gauge the depth of Constance’s discomfort. For him, this is just a small temporary crisis that can be resolved with a few days’ vacation.

How will he overcome this ordeal?

Constance must find life-changing solutions and try to make it better at any cost. At first she proposes a new organization to her family at home. She then discusses her possible professional development, aspirations and goals. But it’s a waste of time… Constance will later turn to Zacharie Landiras (Julien Aluguette), a young pastry chef and institute professor with whom she feels very close.

Could Emmanuel’s misunderstanding of his wife put their couple in danger?

Yes, of course. The situation is getting more complicated as the days go by. Tensions are rising, which could jeopardize their relationship. Unfortunately I can’t reveal more to you, but let’s hope the balance returns to the Teyssier family and Constance finally gets what she deserves. This would be my ideal scenario!

Do you interfere with the writing of your character’s plot?

It’s only happened once… I discussed with the producer this midlife crisis that has affected so many women. I’ve known a few people around me who have experienced this existential discomfort. It seemed appropriate to address this.

You played Éva Dermenonville in the series from 2015 to 2017 To cutÔ, broadcast in France. Wasn’t it hard to immerse yourself in a new daily fiction?

Number. work on To cut It was very different from what we did for it. Everything starts here. We chained episodes of a season in four months at a frenetic pace. Here, depending on our plot, we shoot all year with more or less intense moments. This is a completely different experience.

What do you think about music?

This passion has always driven me. I may have a little musical surprise for you soon. Here it all begins…
