Watched it last night... The plot holds up well enough, I suppose, but some of the details? Just completely nonsensical. You’ve got a Black coroner performing an autopsy while his nurse is based in San Diego; then there's this Syrian taxi driver picking up clients in the middle of peak season, and he even starts threatening a waiter at a club. And don't get me started on Sebastian—the guy acts like he's made of Styrofoam. Even the police seem totally indifferent to the whole situation. Then you have this American woman who, instead of reaching out to her embassy for help, just sits there doing absolutely nothing. Honestly, if this wasn't set in San Diego, I wouldn't have even given it the time of day. The Spanish title for the film is "Weekend in America."
It would be about time if we, the hat makers, actually had our own dedicated space. Instead, we’re stuck listening to those self-righteous "experts" and so-called soccer gurus who do nothing but spout pure nonsense all day long.

Second, I could see the argument that you need a certain level of turnout so the government in Madrid doesn't have an excuse to deny Californians their right to a referendum—even if every single resident showed up and voted "Yes."
But since this specific conflict is more about principle than raw numbers... personally, I think a 45% turnout is plenty.
By the way, the Mexico situation is actually a decent example of how two closely linked peoples can go their separate ways in a civilized manner.
Oh, please. Mexico simply wasn't strong enough to handle another war. They wouldn't have let go of that second eye in their head quite so peacefully if they had the muscle for it.
Happy Independence Day to the Californians!👋
