The spicy Spanish teen romance and drama of Mia Culpa was the most watched non-English language film on Prime Video last year. In this adaptation of the book, newlywed stepbrother and stepsister Nick and Noah were forced to live under the same roof due to their parents’ marriage. Soon they couldn’t keep their hands off each other. The rich and handsome boy, Nick, had a hobby of being a racing driver, something that Noah also knew how to do.
Mia Culpa It ended with a breakthrough in a sequel, which occurred a year later. Nick has entered a decent life and returns to his father’s law firm after an internship in America. He greets the longed-for Noah, barely eighteen years old, with a swing leaning on a column in the garden. The tone has been set again. Her parents still don’t know about her secret romance. They think.
Your fault It continues along the same lines as the previous part. Nick and Noah’s first love soon finds itself torpedoed from all sides. At the office, Nick gets a new colleague who hasn’t exactly been behind dishing out external beauty. Noah goes to college and ends up with a roommate who turns out to be an old acquaintance of Nick’s. A new guidance counselor also threatens to ruin Noah’s relationship.
In fact, this fairly quiet sequel tries to fend off potential threats. It doesn’t help that the relationship between Nick and Noah isn’t exactly stable. Sometimes jealousy drips from the wallpaper, only to get bogged down again in a lovemaking session in which the two pledge eternal loyalty to each other, with a permanent memory. The constant attraction and repulsion quickly wears thin.
In addition, the dangers also come from old acquaintances who have a whole apple orchard to pick with the couple and their parents. The old new characters are being dragged by the skin of their teeth. In the background is a poorly developed subplot about Nick’s bad friendship and drug dealing. Its function, apart from highlighting how much Nick has suffered, remains obscure.
Blame Mine I tried to please the widest possible target group by adding street racing in addition to sweet romances and overly hot sex scenes. And also in this second part, after an hour, the feet step on the accelerator. Although this sequel has to make do with an overly long racing scene, the racing comes out of nowhere and actually leads to very little.
In France, the protagonist Gabriel Guevara, who in addition to being an actor is also a model and half French, faces a scandal. A niece accuses him of undesirable behavior. The actor’s battered image is in stark contrast to all the good manners he displays here. Guevara is no longer able to shake this image, no matter how much he flirts with another person or gets involved in a drug dispute.
This second romantic drama lacks the drive of the previous part, but otherwise contains more of the same. It fits perfectly into the list of spicy Spanish teen dramas of recent years, whether it’s a successful series or not. Elite is or the through my windowtrilogy is. Therefore, it is not surprising that in the final scene the door for the third part opens wide. Let’s hope the writers can find some inspiration and creativity somewhere, although the underlying book Culpa Nuestra is already a done deal.
Your fault can be seen in main video.
