Previously, artist Tamara Tyasmara said that previously Dante wanted to come with her to the shooting location but in the end it didn't happen because he was invited to swim by one of his friends.

"Well, when I heard that he wanted to swim, he was really excited, so I wanted to take him to the location because he was already excited, 'you've done it, 'but promise not to do this', 'oh yes yes', 'how much is the swimming?' Like that," said Tamara.

Seeing his son who was eager to swim, he finally took the time to take his son to the pool location. One of the moments he still remembers until he still made him cry was when he last fed his son.
