Bleibtreu: Well, the most difficult thing, I think, was the development--to have a character that, in fact, does very bad things in the beginning, but yet not�Ktransporting the feeling of a bad guy. We wanted to start with a guy that's of course not the hero. You know how it is, sometimes you have to be very careful with what the character has to do in order to make him believable, not a hero, but yet not the crazy devil, or the guy that nobody likes. So I think the biggest work was to find a good development. When does the bell start ringing in Tarek's head, and when is he going to understand that what he did was just going too far? A lot of times in movies you have a guy who's a certain way, and something happens, and the next morning he wakes up and he's a different person. We tried to create a development that's very slight and subtle, so you don't have this hard break, and to give the audience the possibility to go through this movie with him, and work as a mirror for the emotions that the audience goes through. That was, I think, the most difficult thing.
