someone is born. Our ancestors weak physical abilities compared with animals forced us to develop stronger emotional connections with each other in order to survive.

The scene was added in the movie to make it more dramatic and foreshadowing. I think it helps to understand the movie better and it sets the mood of the story from the very beginning. In the movie‚ when the girls visit Betty
