Luca

In the end, Luca makes a choice that symbolizes his growth and understanding. After winning the Portorosso Cup Race with Alberto and Giulia, their secret identities as sea monsters are revealed to the town. Instead of running away or hiding, Luca decides to stay and help Giulia after she falls during the race. This act of kindness shifts the perception of the townspeople, especially Giulia’s father, Massimo, who has been wary of sea monsters. His gestures help break down the fear and prejudice, leading to a new sense of acceptance. Luca faces a crucial decision—whether to escape back into the ocean or stay among humans—and he chooses to stay, embracing his friendship and new life on land. This choice signifies Luca’s journey from fear and hiding to acceptance and friendship, highlighting the film’s core message that understanding and embracing differences can lead to genuine connections. Ultimately, Luca’s bond with Alberto remains strong, even as they part ways—Luca heading to school and Alberto remaining in Portorosso—each still sharing a “sky of fish.” Their parting reflects that true friendship isn’t about physical proximity but about the enduring bond rooted in acceptance and shared dreams. The story ends on the hopeful note that love and understanding can break down barriers, allowing us all to find the good in others, regardless of differences.}
