Don’t Blame Karma (2022) The Ending Explained

Plot Synopsis “Don’t Blame Karma”

An adaptation of the novel by Laura Norton, Don’t blame karma is a Mexican romantic comedy from director Elisa Miller. It follows Sara (Aislinn Derbez), a fashion designer whose famous sister Lucy (Renata Notni) robs her of all her luck. When Lucy becomes engaged to Aaron Star (Gil Cerezo), Sara’s childhood friend and love of her life, it further convinces Sara that she is forever cursed to be unhappy.

Why does Sara think she is cursed?

Ever since she was little, Sara has believed herself to be under the effects of a curse. It all started when her sister Lucy turned 5 and Sara blew out her cake candles to steal her birthday wish. Lucy angrily turned to her and swore to steal all her wishes from then on.

From that moment, Sara was never able to achieve everything she wanted. Lucy was the most popular at school, who grew up to be a rich and famous model. Meanwhile, Sara has moved into her grandmother’s rickety old house and opened a struggling business to sell her fashion designs. She doesn’t even have passionate feelings for the man she’s dating.

Sara becomes all the more convinced of the reality of the curse when Lucy visits her new fiancé, Aaron, who happens to be Sara’s old friend and crush. Lucy really gets everything Sara wants.

Are Sara and Aaron still in love?

With Aaron staying at Sara’s house before he married his sister, it becomes clear that the spark they had in high school has never been extinguished.

Sara and Aaron easily rekindle their friendship. He pushes her to accept a design offer for the prestigious Fashion party. They even get drunk one night and dance together, reliving old memories. Sara eventually falls in love with Aaron again, but she could never betray her sister.

Does Sara marry Roberto?

Sara’s boyfriend, Roberto, surprises her by showing up at her house and telling her that he is going to move to her town. It’s painfully clear, however, that the pair have no chemistry.

But to prevent herself from getting closer to Aaron, Sara decides to marry Roberto. However, their hasty engagement does not last long. Sara panics at the idea and Roberto understands that she wants him to leave. They go their separate ways and go their separate ways on good terms.

Does Lucy marry Aaron?

Lucy and Aaron’s engagement is still on and they have only known each other for a few months. But oddly, neither seems too happy to marry the other.

It is Lucy who dismisses Aaron just before the wedding to release her doubts about him. They both share that they are not in love.

In the end, it is not Lucy and Aaron who get married, but it is Sara and Lucy’s parents who renew their vows.

Did Lucy curse Sara?

After breaking up with Aaron, Lucy tells Sara that this is her chance to be with him. Sara disagrees, eventually confessing to Lucy that she feels cursed for not being able to want things. She reminds her sister of the birthday party and how she stole all of Sara’s wishes.

But Lucy corrects her. There was a part of the party that Sara doesn’t remember: Lucy later apologized to her and offered to return all her wishes. Sara, angry and proud, refused his apology.

Lucy then tells Sara that she is not cursed. Everything that has or hasn’t happened for her is largely the result of her own attitude.

This sinks in for Sara, as she realizes she has to go after Aaron. Of course, she’ll never get what she wants if she never pursues anything.

How does “Don’t Blame Karma” end?

Sara finds Aaron and kisses him, but that’s not the end of Don’t blame karma.

Sara and Lucy make amends with each other. To make up for an unfulfilled wish for Sara, the sisters go on vacation together. The film ends with them sitting on a beach and watching whales in the ocean.
