He said that he hoped that the audience would find his story to be moving. The director introduced Argentine actress Maricel Alvarez, commenting: “She was a great revelation; and her acting surprised me, Bardem and the whole team.” When the actress spoke, she said that it was her first time in Morelia, but not in Mexico; and she affirmed that she was really happy to be accompanying González Iñárritu to present his film in his country. She also mentioned the privilege of having participated in the film, because, among other things, “ history tries to mark our passage through this world and I gave my grain of sand [to it] through this film.” Javier Bardem received the Palme d’Or in the category of Best Actor in the last Cannes Film Festival for this film.
