Forget Taulant! Interview with Ola from the movie "Taulanti is looking for a sister"

Forget Taulant! Interview with Ola from the movie "Taulanti is looking for

"Taulant, get the money for my popcorn." Who does not remember this phrase from the movie "Taulanti is looking for a sister", that Ola, his close friend, tells Taulanti, that he should collect the money and buy a sister with it? It has been 33 years since the film first appeared, but no one has forgotten the big and small characters, along with the jokes. If Taulant, who is actually called Donald Kokona, has often given interviews, Ola, or Sabiela Agushi, as she is actually called, we have not seen anywhere else since the time of the role of the girl in the fringed dresses and cheekbones . This was her only role, but she managed to do it all for herself, even though it was not a protagonist role. Today Sabiela is a lady. We found her and she told us in an interview the role when she was little, but also her later life. What do you do and where do you live? Sabiela told us for the first time in this interview for Tiranapost.al

How were you selected for the role of Ola, which although not the main one, we have not forgotten even after many years.

I then went to kindergarten 54. There they came to the movie studio and were looking for boys for a boy role. Most of the children were crying, they were scared. I was looking at them and they impressed me, I said: "Uncle, let me try that role too" . One of them said to me, "What are you going to do?" "I will make this pencil look like mine," I told him, and so we started improvising. "Give me this pencil because it's mine." He said to me, "How do you know it is yours?" , "I have bitten the head here and know that it's mine", I told. They were surprised that I was so direct and said, ok, we were looking for a guy but we are taking this oyster with us. I remember it like it was yesterday. Then they took us to the Pioneer Palace. It was a hall with many children, from all kindergartens and there they made a selection again. I do not remember further.

How old were you?

I was five years old.

Did you know any of the kids on the set?

No I did not know any of those children. I had the biggest contact with Donald, that is, Taulant.

We have seen the movie many times. We know the jokes by heart. We are curious to know what was going on in the shooting, where we saw nothing.

I did not know much, but Donald had played another movie. It seems to me that Donald's father also worked in the film studio and was more agile. I did what Donald told me to do. We had an educator who dealt with us when we went to Kinostudio. Many times we hid from her and she tried to find us.

And in the scenes I remember the one we go to buy ice cream, which I give my money. It was the scene that only I would buy and Taulant, no. He told me, "We make the scene worse and eat ice cream." To repeat the scene until we did well. Then Aunt Xhanfizeja told us to do some tests with an empty bucket. How to learn the scene. We did it well with an empty bucket, as soon as we got the ice cream we made it bad again. We realized we had it from the ice cream and they gave us the whole cauldron, to eat and burst. That day we ate so much ... the whole cauldron.

Since you were close friends in the movie, did you become friends in reality? Did you keep in touch later? What about now that you are an adult? Talk, meet?

No, I did not have much contact with Donald after the shooting of the film. We have met only on rare occasions. Last time on a show for Xhanfize Keko on Top Channel, in February 2010.

How did the "mothers" treat you, Roza Anagnosti or Yllka Mujo?

To be honest, I remember Roza, and I do not remember Yllka very well. Maybe I didn’t have many scenes. Maybe the ones we have together will have become more sticky. Roza was very loving.

What about "fathers"? Who did you manage to establish a closer relationship with?

Viktor Zhustin e mbaj mend, kur kemi xhiruar skenën te kamioni. Ai, shumë shakaxhi. Kurse babain tim në rol, s`e mbaj mend shumë. Mbase se s`kishim shumë skena të përbashkëta. Nuk është se krijuam ndonjë marëdhënie. Xhanfizenë e mbaj mend mirë. Me atë qëndronim gjatë. Na mësonte.

Si menaxhoheshin aq shumë fëmijë? Kush ua mësonte batutat?

Rrinim me edukatoren dhe ajo na mësonte tekstet përmendësh. Pastaj Xhanfizeja na mësonte intonacionin. Si duhej të luhej roli, na e mësonte ajo. Batutat kanë qenë të gjitha pjesë e skenarit dhe ne i mësonim shpejt përmendësh.

Kush ju vishte? Ishin fustanet e tua apo të Kinostudios?

Kjo ka qenë pjesa më e dhimbshme e imja. Se unë në atë kohë nuk e kuptoja. Rrobat i kisha të gjitha të miat, sepse mamaja ime m`i bënte me prerje. Fundit, trikon bojëqielli, i kisha të miat. Mirëpo kisha shumë qejf të vishja të kinostudios. Zihesha shumë në kinostudio, qaja. “Përse nuk m`i jepni mua t`i vesh këto rrobat”, i thoja atyre atje. Edukatorja më mbushte mendjen duke më thënë se të miat ishin më të bukura, por s`më bindte.

Ne të gjithë të njohim si Ola e Taulantit. Për sa kohë të mbeti ky emër?

Ata që s`më njohin thonë gjithmonë “U Ola”. Edhe kur dëgjoj që thërrasin ndonjë gocë Ola, kthej kokën, më duket sikur më thërrasin mua. Po batuta që më është përsëritur vazhdimisht është: “Po dhe unë më e bukura në botë jam dhe motra jote mua do më ngjajë”.

Batuta jote “është duke i japur qumësht bebit” ka mbetur e paharrueshme. Ishte e folura jote apo ishte pjesë e skenarit?

Ashtu më doli e folura ime dhe ata e mbajtën. Bëmë edhe skena të tjera, por kanë përzgjedhur këtë skenë.

Pse nuk të pamë më në ndonjë film tjetër? Nuk të pëlqeu aktrimi?

Nuk është se s`më pëlqente aktrimi, por familjarët e mi nuk kishin dëshirë që unë të merresha me aktrimin. Mendova më vonë të studioja për regjizurë, juridik (si çdo shqiptar) dhe inxhinieri po gjithmonë kisha mendimin që s`kisha dëshirë të qëndroja në Shqipëri. Doja ose në Itali, ose në Gjermani, ose në Amerikë. Vendosa Gjermaninë dhe e bëra këtu juridikun dhe jam shumë e kënaqur me zgjedhjen që kam bërë.

Na trego diçka për veten, ne kemi shumë dëshirë të të njohim

I now live in Germany, in Munich. I worked as a lawyer. I have pursued several important issues, generally with the protection of family rights. I have closed this chapter and work as a lawyer in the City of Munich. In my personal life I am married. My husband is German of Turkish origin.

So, you have a life of a career built outside Albania. Are you coming back here?

I come often. Minimum 2 times a year.

Famous with only one role. Have you thought about the movie anymore? For example, starring in another movie, now that you are an adult?

S`e di. I do not believe it, but never say never.
