@Where hibernate annotation return EntityNotFoundException

Question

i'm using the @Where hibernate annotation to return users after a soft delete. I check the value of the "active" variable and it works fine if all users have active = true, while at least one of them has active = false, it returns an "EntityNotFoundException" exception. I wish it would only return cars with active users, rather than throwing an exception.

@Entity
@Table(name = "users")
@Getter
@Setter
@NoArgsConstructor
@EqualsAndHashCode(callSuper = true)
@Where(clause = "is_active")
public class UserEntity {

    @NotNull
    @Column(unique = true)
    @NaturalId
    private Long id;

    @Column(name = "is_active")
    private boolean active;


@Entity
@Table(name = "user_cars")
@Getter
@Setter
@Builder
@NoArgsConstructor
@AllArgsConstructor
@EqualsAndHashCode(onlyExplicitlyIncluded = true)
public class CarEntity {

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = IDENTITY)
    @EqualsAndHashCode.Include
    private Long id;

    @NotNull
    @ManyToOne(fetch = LAZY)
    @JoinColumn(name = "user_id")
    private UserEntity user;
