Furia

Diego’s brand new BMW is waiting outside, and at first, Camila awkwardly struggles for what to say on the drive. Typical first-date questions are pointless because she already knows Diego so well. The tension doesn’t last long as Diego talks about living in Turin, Italy, and how much he misses Rosario. The car makes its way past dozens of poor children playing along the litter-filled streets, and they arrive at El Buen Pastor. The building used to function as an asylum where people would send their disobedient daughters—women who fought for equality and rights. Now, it’s used by Father Hugo to provide after-school workshops and English lessons for children.

Diego knows Father Hugo from childhood. When Diego was eight years old, his mother abandoned him, but Father Hugo took Diego in and helped connect him to his adoptive mother, Ana. In a casual interview with Father Hugo, Camila shares her motivation for learning English: she wants to play soccer for a college in the United States. He offers her the English tutor job but warns her that the work they do is often discouraging; many of the kids end up in jail or homeless.
