This role has a personal impact on the father of two. Ringgo admits that he has gained many valuable lessons that he can apply in his real life as a parent. He reflects on the parenting style and communication that exists in his family.

"There was once. I reflected, the form of warmth is different, right? It's not always like in the movies. Including how different I am with my child, I am very different with my dad," he said when met in the Kuningan area, South Jakarta, on Monday (01/19/2025).

"It's like saying 'I love you', I find it easier to express that to my child now because the generation is different," continued Ringgo.

This man, born in 1982, also highlights the differences in "love languages" across generations. For his father's generation, physical presence and eating together are already an extraordinary form of love, even without many sweet words.

This film serves as a reminder for Ringgo that the relationship between a father and child does not always go smoothly. He realizes that someday, he might face the same awkward phase when his children reach their teenage years.
