I do not remember why I was fascinated by Napoleon Bonaparte as a young boy. I can only fill in some reasons. I decided to find a Napoleonfan and edit him into a film with the emperor, so that he could give his reasons to his idol, and tell him his story. Googling "Napoleonfan" I expected an older man or an adolescent boy, but I found someone much more interesting, a 14 year old girl. On the many fansites I had already seen that there are girls declaring their love for the 200 year old emperor. Finding strength in the example of a man who singlehandedly turned Europe upside down seems very important.
I have asked Evelyn if she felt she had got closer to getting to know the emperor by being in this film. She said yes, but what it means exactly I do not know.
