According to Lopez, a specific scene in the film moved her to tears: the moment when character Eunice Paiva, played by Fernanda Montenegro, walks on the beach with her children while searching for clues about her missing husband's whereabouts. "They go back to the footage of her filming him that day. Walking on the beach with one of her children on her shoulder and the other holding hands," the singer described, explaining that the scene made her think about her own children and her relationship with her father. ✓

"Eles voltam para a filmagem dela filmando ele naquele dia. Andando pela praia com uma de suas crianças em seu ombro e o outro segurando a mão. E isso e aquilo e meu pai estava sentado lá e algo aconteceu na minha cabeça e comecei a chorar com meus filhos."
As Lopez was crying while watching the film, her father approached her, held her face and said "I love you." For the artist, those words had a transformative effect. "Sometimes when we're children, we don't know if our parents love us, even though we know they love us," Lopez reflected, adding that she needed to hear that to move forward and leave certain relationship patterns in the past. ✓
