Life Without Sara Amat
Life Without Sara Amat
This role led her to participate in 24 films and 18 series, including The Orphanage, Black Bread, Eva and The Impossible. Jou is the mother of singer and YouTuber Roc Jou Morales, known professionally as Rojuu.
After presenting the short film No me quites at the 2016 Gaudí Awards, producer Isona Passola commissioned Jou's first film, Life Without Sara Amat. It was an adaptation of a novel of the same name by Pep Puig, which won the 2015 Premio Sant Jordi, a prize for novels written in the Catalan language. Jou directed the film alongside director of photography Gris Jordana and composer Pau Vallvé. To find her main cast, Jou recruited former acting students of hers that starred in The Red Band Society and Merlí to recruit young actors via Instagram, and "20,000 children signed up." To prepare for their roles, the cast did two months of rehearsal, and became "a real gang, with real ties." They underwent exercises to understand the motivations of their characters and rehearsed scenes that were not in the script.
