"The Interview” (“La entrevista”)

Staged as a meeting between a prestigious scientist at the height of his career and a challenging scientific journalist “The Interview” builds up to a passionate debate about modern-day subjects such as the value and accountability of scientific research and its relation to society and public life. As the plot thickens, the two protagonists cannot avoid revealing a second thread to the story in which both their characters acquire new traits and the relationship between them becomes surprisingly complex. The relationship which is gradually unravelled in “The Interview” and which is based upon personal and moral aspirations and conflicts, clearly conjures up the one between two of the most relevant scientists of the 20th century: the Danish, Niels Bohr and the German, Werner Heisenberg - a relationship which ended abruptly after their famous conversation in Copenhagen in 1941.
