Is this true? Whilst Ana's role is life affirming, she also makes 
the homosexuality which has lain implicitly inside Tenoch and 
Julio's relationship come explicitly to the fore. The result of this 
realization is that they stop seeing each other and only meet once 
more in their lives, for a brief cup of coffee. Is that life 
affirming? It wasn't for me. It was thought provoking, and it was 
believable, but I wouldn't call it life affirming.

But I do have very high hopes of his treatment of PoA.

Cheers,

Dumbledad.
