Jennifer Lopez teared up at the Sundance premiere of "Kiss of the Spider Woman," explaining she has been "waiting for this moment my whole life."

The plot in the new film follows the original in that it is centered on a political prisoner (played by Diego Luna) in Argentina who shares a cell with a queer window dresser (Elizarraraz), where they talk about the plot of a Hollywood musical starring a talented actress (Lopez).

I’ve been waiting for this moment my whole life,” the global superstar said during the film's Q&A after receiving a standing ovation alongside the filmmaker and breakout star Tonatiuh.
