The girls are fighting and that’s so sad but also what breaks my heart even more is that Marta de la Reina is still so caged in by her environment that she still cannot imagine a better life for them than staying in Spain.
Like sure if they ran away, they would not being the show anymore but, honestly, baby, Marta.. dream a little bigger..
Also, I have some personal experience with choosing the “obviously better” option, aka choosing luxuries and comfort and the possibility of leveraging that for a satisfying career than choosing struggle and freedom and a sense of belonging.
And also with Fina’s doubts about going back “home” are so valid to me too. I actively hate being back in my hometown so much and then absolutely spiraled into a depressive episode after going to back to London for a few days at 33 after being there the first time at 17.
The taste of freedom is so good. Marta found that freedom when she found Fina, but Fina found it when she was forced to leave everything she knew to protect Marta.
Cause this is another point meant stressing. If that knife would have shown up at the police, Marta would have done everything she could spare Fina the jail time and she would have not only failed in keeping Fina away from jail but would have joined her too and loose everything herself. And Fina absolutely knew this at the time and really didn’t want that to happen.
But also poor baby, that everyone is like oh it was so hard in Argentina, right? And she’s like actually with the exception of finding the love of my life, the kind of love few people are lucky enough to find.. except that.. everything else was better.
Fina is trying to say all that, but Marta cannot hear it over the pain of being “betrayed”.
