Ander and Santi are precious. It’s hard to feel like it really works out like that in the end (was the ending too optimistic to be realistic?) but I think it walked that line of Ander making the big choice, their risk-it-all optimism, without being to saccharine or magicking away the injustice of the immigration system and everything they fought for. A really heartfelt story.
