No manches, Frida 2: paraíso destruido - Characters & Cast

His primary motivation is to win back Lucy's love and trust after he humiliates her at their wedding. This personal goal is intertwined with the professional need to coach the students to victory in the beach tournament to save the school from being shut down.

Zequi begins the film on the verge of happiness but his impulsive nature causes him to lose it all. His journey is a frantic attempt to mature and prove his love and commitment to Lucy. Initially driven by desperation, he evolves from a purely self-interested schemer into a genuinely caring mentor for his students and a more vulnerable, humanized partner for Lucy. His arc is about learning that true strength lies in responsibility and embracing his authentic self, rather than just his tough-guy persona.

Lucy is motivated by a desire for a stable, respectful, and mature relationship. After Zequi's failure, she seeks a partner she can rely on, which initially makes her old flame Mario seem like an appealing alternative. She is also dedicated to her students and the survival of their school.

Lucy starts as the lovably nerdy and slightly prudish teacher, deeply hurt by Zequi's betrayal. Her arc involves finding her own strength and standards. Reconnecting with her ex-boyfriend, Mario, forces her to re-evaluate what she wants in a partner. She moves from being swept up in Zequi's chaos to demanding respect and genuine change, ultimately forcing Zequi to grow in order to meet her expectations.

His motivation is to win Lucy back, leveraging their shared history and his current success to present himself as the superior choice to the chaotic Zequi. He is also driven by a competitive desire to see his own school's team win the tournament.

Mario is introduced as Lucy's handsome and successful ex-boyfriend, now a coach for a competing school. He serves as the primary antagonist in the romantic plot, representing everything Zequi is not: polished, smooth, and seemingly perfect. His character doesn't have a significant arc; he functions primarily as a foil to Zequi, creating the conflict necessary to drive Zequi's development and force Lucy's choice.
