![What attracted you to the film and to your character? First of all, the point of view of Gerardo’s story, because it’s a subject that has been done a lot of times but not from the victim’s point of view. And the interesting thing about putting these two worlds together — the crime world and the beauty pageant — it’s something I’ve never seen. I just fell in love with [the character of Laura] because she’s a girl who realizes how strong she is when she’s in this situation. I think she’s just a very naive girl that dreams of becoming a beauty queen and doing something with her life. And in this world that she lives in, it’s flawed just to have a dream.
