“I certainly didn’t want to go into my first meeting with Paul and be a little familiar. But there was something so reminiscent of my father. ten minutes later [chamada de] Zoom, I was choking. I was holding back my emotions,” he said.

The film will be released in theaters nationwide on February 9, 2023.
