- How do you say it?
Authentic feeling, that it's realistic
like even in this post-apolyp,
I hate this word so bad. - Post-apocalyptic world.
- Post, whatever, post-apocalyptic word,
- You will have to say it a lot now.
- world? - World.
(laughing) - Oh my God.
Okay, whatever.
(speaking in Danish)
- This is the first big, Netflix global show for you,
are you ready and prepared for everything
that's going to come along with that?
(laughing)
- No. - Not at all.
- We're like, actually right now,
we're realizing what's happening,
- Yeah.
- it's, I don't know how you prepare yourself for this or--
- I don't think like you can prepare yourself.
- Really,
we don't know what to expect
- No. - from this adventure,
but it's really exciting what's happening right now
and we are like-- - It's exciting to see
what the other countries are gonna say about it,
Danish original, yeah,
so that's so exciting.
(speaking in Danish)
(light suspenseful music)
- Well, The Rain takes place six years after a virus has,
yeah, killed almost all human being
and we're playing the two siblings,
I'm playing Simone, - I'm playing Rasmus.
- and we have been locked in a bunker for six years,
so we survived the rain
and then we come out
and we meet this group of young survivors
and we become like a part of this group
and Simone, she's,
I mean, she's forced to be very brave
and take a lot of responsibility
and she also become, I would say, the leader of the group.
- Definitely, yeah - She's the one,
is like, coming with solutions and that,
she's the brain in the group.
- And I'm playing Rasmus, who is a 16-year old boy,
who has been sick for the most of his life
before the rain and when he thought he were being cured,
he then discovers that the world is ending,
with his family and gets down in the bunker
with the only company of his sister.
(speaking in Danish)
- What would you say gives it that special Danish touch?
Is there one to the show?
- I think it's the storytelling we have in Denmark,
we do a lot of like crime and a lot of thriller
shows in Denmark and I think it's a switch up
for Danish people as well, often the Scandinavian area,
this universe, this post-apocalyptic thriller,
coming of age story, so not only for the world,
it's new, it's also for the Scandinavian
and the Danish people as well.
- Yeah, I think we're good in like creating this,
how do you say it?
Authentic feeling, that it's realistic,
like even in this post-apolyp,
I hate this word so bad. - Post-apocalyptic world.
- Whatever, post-apocalyptic word,
- You will have to say it a lot now.
- world? - World.
(laughing) - Oh my God.
Okay, whatever,
like that there's also,
that it's realistic and this,
you can also see it in the cast,
that we are so unpolished and
- Yeah. - rough
and we can look ugly and it's like,
yeah, we look real, we look like real people
and I think we're good in that in Scandinavia.
- Yeah.
- If there was an, now I know it starts too,
(laughing)
- Yeah. - If there was
an apocalypse, like-- - It's spreads, yeah.
- happening, (laughs) - Yeah.
- what kind of food would you miss most?
- Ooh,
I think,
I think I would, it's not a food,
I think I would miss coffee a lot, like a lot,
I'm like totally addicted to coffee, every kind of coffee.
- Yeah, I don't know. - But food?
I think because the food
that Rasmus and Simone eats down in the bunker,
it's food that can preserve for a long time,
so it's like tuna and rice and--
- But it's like food without colors,
- Yeah. - so I think that would,
I would miss that the most, like to be able to eat fruits
and vegetables and those things.
- Yeah.
A burger maybe, pizza, you know,
- You, the both of you have siblings,
you have eight, - Oh yeah, yeah.
- like I found out yesterday, - Yeah.
- what would you say is the best
and the worst thing about having siblings?
- I would say the worst thing,
that's what my character is experiencing in this,
that you get so worried
and stressed about taking care of someone,
it's like such a big responsibility
- Yeah.
- and it's so exhausting, like,
and you put away yourself just to like
take care of another person.
yeah, it's just love,
and the best thing I would say
to have someone that you can reflect yourself in.
- Or making fun of.
(laughing) - Or making fun of.
- Yeah, my little brother's like in the state
of teenage years right now and he's doing the most,
the funniest of things, where you're just like,
fuck. - Yeah.
- I'm sorry, I don't wanna swear.
(laughing)
Yeah, but I think it's the funniest to reflect yourself
and what you've been going through,
what they're going through right now
and trying to be the picture for them,
- Yeah.
- to get through it well, yeah.
