Door-Closes Ending: The film ends with Bela and Jota leaving the center where their kids were kept, having succeeded in winning them back. The camera stays on the closed door as the credits roll.

Department of Child Disservices: The people working in Child Services are not ready to deal with the deaf Lu and forbid her from communicating with her parents through sign language (which is the only way she can communicate) since nobody around understands it. Also, it's a simple misunderstading that causes the kids to be taken away from Bela and Jota and they are very nearly placed with different families because of it.

Foreign Language Title: The film is officially called Listen despite being mainly a Portuguese work, and was released in Portugal with that title; even odder, it was originally trademarked as "Ouve-me", which is Portuguese for "Listen to me".
