The finale of Polish writer Blanka Lipinska’s 365 Days trilogy was released Thursday (Aug 19) on Netflix. This movie had shocked the world during the pandemic, when the first part was released in 2020: 365 Days because of its vulgar scenes. This was followed by the second part, released in May, titled 365 This Day, and the final chapter, The Next 365 Days.
Table of Contents
Starting with 365 Days, the story follows the meeting of Laura (Anna Maria Seicklucka) and Mafia boss Massimo (Michele Morrone), leading to sex and preparations for their wedding. The movie 365 This Day then follows the couple’s early married life and the conflicts between mafia gangs.
The second part of the trilogy received poor reviews. Weak in terms of plot and dialog. It feels empty, just sex almost the entire movie. But what about the ending of this trilogy that has just been released?
SYNOPSIS OF THE NEXT 365 DAYS
It tells the story of Laura Biel and Massimo Torricelli who have officially married.
However, their marriage began to experience problems after Laura, who was pregnant, suffered a miscarriage. Laura did not tell her husband about her miscarriage, and Massimo thought that Laura was selfish.
Massimo then began to suspect that his wife had been having an affair with Nacho and thought she had slept with him, but Laura denied it despite still having a crush on Nacho.
After that, Laura began to choose to be busy with her career as a fashion designer and was later invited to a fashion show in Portugal.
At this event, Laura was accompanied by Olga and then accidentally met Nacho. For this reason, Laura’s heart began to waver and eventually made her fall in love again because Nacho was always able to give her a soft side that she never got from her husband.
The two spent the night together, only for Massimo to find out and follow her to her hotel.
When caught in the act, Laura made it clear that she was asking Massimo for a divorce if he was still holding on to her. Nacho, on the other hand, will wait for Laura no matter what. For this reason, Laura was very indecisive between choosing Massimo or Nacho.

LAURA’S DILEMMA BETWEEN MASSIMO AND NACHO
Let’s move on to Laura’s dilemma. Indeed, since the movie 365 Days (2020), we don’t understand what we see in Massimo other than his good looks and lust.
Until the third movie, we still don’t understand what Laura has in mind for Massimo. But for sure, she has tied the knot of love over marriage with him.
With the sacredness of marriage, Nacho’s entrance into Laura’s life should have been easily dismissed. Laura has done this many times, but Nacho’s determination is so strong that it’s only increased in this 1 hour and 52 minute movie.
On at least two occasions, Nacho spoke one-on-one with Laura and described his vision of life with the Polish woman.
Speaking of ethics, what Nacho did was inappropriate. Destroying people’s homes is the main negative point that he presents strongly in this movie, especially when he then manages to make love to Laura, not just through dreams.
And Laura just fulfills the allegations of infidelity that Massimo threw at her, while Massimo never returned the favor.
And after everything happened, Laura met up with Nacho again who was a taxi driver. Laura gave an ambiguous answer to Nacho, “I need more time”, to which Nacho replied “I will wait”.
In the previous meeting, Nacho had also said that he would wait for Laura even if it was forever.
And when we meet Massimo, where Massimo asks Laura after telling her about her change in attitude, albeit for no good reason, “Are you back, Babygirl?” Laura remained silent until the credit title appeared.
It turns out that Laura’s silence in front of Massimo is more ambiguous than with Nacho. And this also leaves us with an ambiguous impression, will there be another 365 Days movie?
Isn’t this all enough? The same question slides back to you. Who would be more appropriate for Laura, Massimo or Nacho?

RECEIVED A BAD RATING BECAUSE THE ENDING DID NOT MEET EXPECTATIONS
The cliffhanger ending left viewers wondering, did Laura end up with Massimo or Nacho? Or even living the single life?
Unlike the book, there are many things that were not realized into the film. Moreover, there is the story of Massimo trying to drug Laura and force her to get pregnant. So, it’s not too surprising that he ran away with Nacho in the incident. So is Laura really pregnant and from whom? this remains unanswered.
Will there be a sequel? or is the audience left to make their own judgment? well we just look forward to the surprise from Netflix
