Who does Massimo end up with?

After the shooting, an uneasy truce is agreed between the two sides. Massimo is angry after the death of his brother and tells his rivals to leave. Adriano is dead while Laura is alive.

In fact, Laura has fully recovered from her gunshot wound last movie, and beyond a few mentions it’s never brought up again. Laura and Massimo’s relationship is on the rocks, so the former decides to get back into the swing of her career. As she starts to dive into the world of fashion again, Nacho returns and causes Laura to feel conflicted.

What will Laura choose to do? Does she stay with the abusive, controlling, toxic Massimo or does she move across to dating rival gangster Nacho? Or maybe she should just sail away from these toxic men and strike out on her own? Decisions, decisions!

Does Nacho confess his love to Laura?

He does, yes! Nacho eventually catches up with Laura after she tries avoiding him and encourages her to take a drive. Eventually, the pair start kissing. When they break away, Nacho tells her: “I think I’m in love with you.”

After driving her home, Nacho tells Laura: “You can run away from me… but you can’t run away from how you feel.”  Nacho respects her enough to give the young woman time to contemplate whether to divorce Massimo or not. Just to add weight to the argument though, Nacho reveals that when Anna shot her instead of Massimo, she tried to shoot her husband but Nacho intervened.

Nacho refused to allow Massimo to be killed and shot Anna dead. Nacho saved Massimo’s life because Laura loves him and didn’t want her to suffer. He wants her to want to be with him because it’s what she wants rather than being thrown into that situation.

Does Massimo find out what Laura’s been up to?

After spending time with her folks, Laura receives a call from Olga. She’s flustered, as it turns out Massimo knows everything between her and Nacho. Olga overheard Nacho talking to Domenico, and in particular snippets of their conversation. He’s threatened to kill them.

Laura refuses to hide from her husband and decides to come back and confront him. At the airport though, Nacho sneaks in and pretends to be Laura’s driver. He drives her home, admitting he could get in trouble for crossing the territory, given the earlier truce made between the two sides.

On the way, Nacho admits that since meeting Laura he’s not been able to stop thinking of her. He lavishes praise on her, admitting he’ll do anything for her and will wait – even forever – if that’s what it takes.

How does The Next 365 Days end?

Down on the beach, Laura and Massimo talk. Massimo tells her he didn’t want the time between them to be bad, especially her dealing with the loss of their baby alone.

Massimo admits that he’s known about Nacho for a long time but didn’t say anything. Massimo has been driven by a quote his father used to read to him. He didn’t understand it back then but he does now.

It goes: “If you really love something just let it go. If it comes back, it’ll be yours forever. If it doesn’t, then it was never meant to be.” When Massimo asks if Laura is back with him… we don’t get an answer. Instead, they both just look at each other as we fade to black.

Will Laura choose Nacho or Massimo?

Well, that is the question isn’t it? On the one hand, Nacho has been supportive of Laura’s journey and clearly wants what’s best for her. However, he also lied about his history and he’s a rival gangster which complicates matters further.

Meanwhile, Massimo is controlling, toxic and bad news – and has been since the first movie. In an ideal world, Laura will choose neither and head off into the sunset alone but if we’d have to wager a guess over who she chooses, surely it’ll be Nacho.

This choice could then spark up a big gang war before seeing Nacho as a blood-lusting villain and jumping back to Massimo again. Unfortunately, we’re not going to get any answers in this movie so I guess we’ll have to wait and see what’s in store for us next in this ongoing franchise!

Netflix’s controversial 365 Days trilogy has come to a close with The Next 365 Days, prompting viewers to wonder what the surprisingly calm The Next 365 Days ending means for the wild trilogy. While the 365 Days movies are undeniably full of cliches, that doesn’t make the trilogy in any way predictable. For example, while many viewers familiar with the romance genre might have predicted that Laura and Massimo would eventually fall in love in the original 365 Days, few would have guessed that this would happen when Massimo held her hostage for the titular time period.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY

Similarly, viewers watching 365 Days: This Day couldn’t have guessed that Massimo didn’t cheat on Laura, his until-now unmentioned evil twin did. The 365 Days trilogy was full of this type of wild, soapy twist, meaning that anything could happen in the final installment of the series, The Next 365 Days. Of course, The Next 365 Days ending still managed to shock viewers.

Ironically, the most surprising thing about The Next 365 Days ending is that the closing chapter of the series is its most grounded outing so far. The Next 365 Days drops the absurd, over-the-top soap opera plotting of the earlier 365 Days movies, focusing on a love triangle between Nacho, Laura, and Massimo that never boils over into gunfights, murders, kidnappings, or even a punch-up between the two potential love interests. Instead, in a truly unexpected twist, both Massimo and Nacho decide to respect Laura’s wishes and let her make her own decisions about her love life. Laura’s life isn’t threatened in the Netflix movie ending (which is a first for the 365 Days movies), but she does appear to choose one suitor over the other.

What Happens In The Next 365 Days Ending

The majority of The Next 365 Days sees Massimo and Laura drifting apart after the dramatic, life-endangering events of 365 Days: This Day. Laura finally tells Massimo that she lost her pregnancy in a car crash at the end of the original 365 Days and Massimo is hurt that she didn’t inform him at the time. This drives a wedge between the duo, resulting in Laura eventually sleeping with Nacho while she is in Portugal on business. Massimo offers Laura space to work out what’s best for her, she fantasizes about a threesome between her, Nacho, and Massimo, visits her parents, and eventually returns to Massimo. Critics horrified by the popular but badly reviewed 365 Days movies and their depiction of glamorous, romanticized fantasy versions of abusive dynamics could be relieved by what then occurs. Massimo, the mob boss who once held Laura hostage for a year to force her to fall in love with him, sits on the beach and says he only wants to be with her if it is what she truly wants.

How The Next 365 Days Changes The Book’s Plot

While the ambiguous ending of The Next 365 Days does appear to imply that Laura and Massimo will stay together, this is far from the biggest change that the movie adaptation makes to the original novel. The novel The Next 365 Days sees Laura leave Massimo to be with Nacho, only for Massimo to send Laura the dead body of her pet dog in the post. In a bizarre twist that the the Netflix movie apparently borrowed from Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights, Massimo claims Nacho killed her dog, gets Laura back, and immediately imprisons her in his mansion again. When Laura discovers Massimo is the one who killed her dog, it is not long before she seduces him, escapes, and runs off with Nacho. Surprisingly, Massimo then assents to divorce, meaning Laura and Nacho end up living happily ever after and the unhinged mob boss simply accepts that his former paramour is gone for good.

Do Laura and Massimo Stay Together In The Next 365 Days Ending

The Next 365 Days ending doesn’t confirm whether Laura and Massimo stay together for good one way or the other. However, when the credits roll on the Netflix romance trilogy, it seems likely that the pair will not break up again. Where the two earlier 365 Days movies ended with a fake-out Laura death, The Next 365 Days ending sees Massimo finally directly ask Laura who she wants to be with, him or Nacho. Laura and Massimo don’t explicitly reconcile, with The Next 365 Days ending with Massimo asking whether Laura is “back” after sharing a sweet story and life lesson that his late father taught him. It seems Massimo Senior explained to his son that if you love something, you must let it go to see whether it comes back, and that is how you know whether a relationship is meant to be. According to The Next 365 Days ending, that’s what Massimo did when he accepted that Laura wanted to be with Nacho and awaited her return.

What Does The Next 365 Days Ending Really Mean?

The ending of The Next 365 Days represents a shift in the trilogy’s attitudes toward consent. Both 365 Days: This Day and the original 365 Days were despised by critics for their perceived glamorization of toxic, dangerous relationship dynamics, with the franchise’s defenders noting that the movies were campy, over-the-top fantasies not designed to be taken seriously. However, The Next 365 Days ending does take the story relatively seriously, jettisoning the wildly silly plot of the source novel for a (comparatively) muted, mature ending to the franchise. The franchise finally gives Laura some agency of her own, proves that Massimo is capable of understanding the concept of consent, and depicts both its male love interests as characters who want the best for their partner rather than their own needs prioritized.

It isn’t particularly in line with the tone of the preceding movies but, surprising as it may seem, the much more grounded The Next 365 Days does address the most common criticisms of the franchise. Where the original controversial 365 Days was criticized as a celebration of toxic tropes (and defended as a goofy, overtly silly fantasy), the final 365 Days movie applies basic ideas of consent and agency to the problematic framework set out by the earlier movies in the series. While The Next 365 Days ending doesn’t tell viewers whether Laura and Massimo ended up together, it does tell them that the decision will be one that the pair come to together — which might be the biggest shock in the entire 365 Days trilogy.
