We can't wait to hear how an artist like Timo Flloko confesses about love, about Summer.
In an interview for the show "Opinion", Timo talked about his life, career and passion for poetry. Among them is the love story with Vera Grabocka, the successful director.
Flloko recounted from meeting Grabocka, when she was his student, to their strong love story that continues to keep them together after so many years.
Blendi Fevziu: How did you meet Vera?
Timo Flloko: Fate... We were quite young, I met him at school. Coincidence. This must be understood that if I had not been appointed in Tirana, that it might happen that I was appointed in Vlora, I would not have known this young girl or lady today. I knew her from school, she was my student. It was special even at that time.
Blendi Fevziu: Special in what sense?
Timo Flloko: Special in dynamics, in behavior, in energy, in nature, in conversations.
Blendi Fevziu: I once told him that with the energy he has, he could compete with the 3 hydropower plants that Albania has together. Really. If it were possible, the three large hydropower plants we have..
Timo Flloko: As my son-in-law says, if the Ferrari engine hadn't been invented, it would have been Summer. Summer was love that stuck there, because I believe that I was not an unattractive boy...
Blendi Fevziu: Did you get stuck, or did the wine not let you go?
Timo Flloko: No, the attraction was two-way. Biles I would say that sometimes I found Vera more dismissive than me. I got stuck. And how good, because in life one needs support. Summer has been a support as a body leans on an oak tree when it is tired, so I have supported myself all my life.
Blendi Fevziu: Two very popular characters, two very ambitious characters, two characters who are more or less in the same field..
Timo Flloko: Summer has a difference, Summer is a phenomenon.
Blendi Fevziu: This was difficult...
Timo Flloko: We communicate as artists of course... Vera always gives opinions on one thing. He has intuition, he has a sixth sense.
Blendi Fevziu: Was Vera your first film critic, in fact?
Timo Flloko: Of course, yes.
Blendi Fevziu: Her criticisms were inherent.
Timo Flloko: Absolutely yes, she has sensations, she has a sense of smell.
Blendi Fevziu: Is it going towards a perfection that often becomes tiring, because man...
Timo Flloko: Sometimes Vera has the tendency to take you where you need to go... For example, you should go to Blendi, he told me, look to look good, the hair, these... and look for the form, because it's a type of art, it's television . It's basically never wrong. Her PR in speaking is, you know, she knows it, she doesn't do well in speaking, I can pass in writing.
Blendi Fevziu: He decided one thing, there is only one solution to accept it, or the other solution is to accept it again. There is no other choice.
Timo Flloko: She is never wrong, her word always comes out. In the long run, Vera is right.
