May God help us is a female series
“In this series there is great attention to the world of women: in many years many female characters have been told”, says Elena Sofia Ricci. «In a cinema and on TV where ample space is always reserved for men, finding so many possibilities for us girls to be able to play important roles was nice. It’s nice”.
“Sister Angela? A great sinner close to the people”
«Beyond the comedy and drama in this series the spiritual aspect is treated in a wonderfully human way. Sister Angela is one of the greatest sinners on Italian television: she is incorrect but this means that despite being a nun she is close to the public ». People love her for that. «But also and above all for his ability to relate to spirituality in a very human way. Her dialogues with God are memorable and they are the ones that, at the end of each episode, throw us into the sea of questions in which she flounders daily. And sometimes they allow you to give yourself some answers. I see it from the affection of the fans».
Elena Sofia Ricci is sure: «May God help us, he is an anxiolytic. People go home, stressed, in a difficult moment and I am referring above all to these last three years of the pandemic, and thanks to God help us, laughs, cries and reflects. Thinks. This is another aspect that has made this series strong and successful».

Meanwhile, this year Sister Angela has combined one of her «of her and this meant that she was sent back to prison. Or where she had come from. For the uninitiated, Sister Angela is an ex-convict for armed robbery. And she got the call in jail. Now you, back in prison, you will help women in difficulty. But I can’t say much more.”
The theater engagements of Elena Sofia Ricci
“I’m on tour at the theater with The sweet wing of youth by Tennessee Williams, an author close to my heart. This is the fifth Tennessee Williams lady I bring to the stage.”
«Theatre is where I come from: it is my passion. I left it for so many years because my daughters were little. But, being a completely crazy actress, I need to change. This year I am very proud to have given space to Francesca Chillemi»
“Francesca Chillemi is extraordinary”
«I was on the jury when Francesca was elected Miss Italy. And I also voted for her », says the 60-year-old actress. In recent years she has become more and more beautiful, inside and out. She was a girl, she has become a woman, a mother, she has great sensitivity and a big heart. She is an actress who has grown up in an extraordinary way. I’ve never had some of Francesca’s talents and thanks to her, working with her, I was able to express them».
She also hopes to have taught her something: «I have had great teachers, I have been a very lucky woman. I’ve worked with incredible actors. Anyone who has been lucky enough to receive such important gifts is lucky if one day they can return them. It happened that I could make suggestions. To Francesca, and also to the younger actors. And seeing that those suggestions were taken was wonderful. In this I am similar to Sister Angela: the desire to give to others is an aspect that unites us a lot”.
