Alvaro's Dad was a jerk


Maybe his Dad was just angry when he wanted to leave and go home, but what he said to Alvaro was unjustified. To tell your son he has no talent, will never have talent and that you're glad he isn't gay (because you were was afraid he was) is just horrible. No parent should say these things.

Reality is harsh, these kinda of dads does exist.

True, but narratively speaking its not interesting, IMO. It makes the character lack depth. It feels like he is saying "look what an asshole i am, look how evil and prejudiced i am, LOOK! I bet you hate me right now, RIGHT?!?!?" :/
