Discover the Anticipated Sequel: “Against the Current 2”
Last year, Prime Video struck gold with the romantic drama “Culpa mía” (translated as “Against the Current”), a passionate Spanish film that skillfully blended elements of action and romance, reminiscent of both “Fast and Furious” and “After.” This captivating feature quickly became a sensation among viewers, ranking as the platform’s greatest success for a local Original film in a non-English language. It made waves, landing in the Top 10 most-watched titles across over 190 countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, India, Argentina, and France.
Release Details and Plot Overview
The highly awaited sequel, “Culpa Tuya” (translated as “Against the Current 2”), directed and co-written by Domingo González alongside Sofía Cuenca, is set to premiere on Prime Video this December 27, just a year and a half after the release of its predecessor.
In this new chapter, the love story between Noah and Nick appears to be rock-solid, despite their parents’ attempts to drive them apart. However, as Nick’s career takes off and Noah begins her university journey, both characters find themselves navigating new relationships. The return of an ex-girlfriend bent on revenge and Nick’s mother, whose intentions remain ambiguous, threaten not just their romance but the very fabric of the Leister family. With so many forces working against their love, can it possibly lead to a happy conclusion?
Nicole Wallace, who reprises her role as Noah, shared insights about her character’s evolution in this sequel, emphasizing her growth as a woman who is learning to assert herself: “She is much firmer about what she believes in. And I think she sees what she wants in life and doesn’t want to settle for the bare minimum. With this film, I would like the message to fans to be that sometimes your path and the way you want to live and handle things, the relationship you want with yourself and with others is one-way.”
Wallace also highlights a crucial point: “Sometimes it is not compatible with the other person. And trying to change the other will never work. It is not your job nor your fault. Especially since women have this pressure to think they have to manage everything, mature faster, and do everything for their relationship.”
