«Towards the sunset of his high school career. The end point of a long time. And all the sunrises and sunsets of his future “, writes the actress, who has always been jealous of her family’s privacy, accompanying a photo in which James appears from behind and with her face completely hidden. “This moment is a milestone. Not fully understood until we live it. And until when our children will cross the threshold in their next chapter which is, for us, mostly mysterious. Just like all the other chapters that are part of the epic novel which is the story of a child and his parents ».
