Tin and Tina Ending Explained: What Happened to Lola’s Baby? What Happens with Tin and Tina?
As far as a plot twist is concerned, Tin and Tina (Tin & Tina) came to redefine all our concepts. The newly premiered Netflix film is a horror, which follows the story of two adopted children with atypical attitudes. For hours, we believed they were innocent. But, in some specific moments, we see that the duo is not common at all and has quite strange aspects. Several times throughout this film, we were left wondering about the plot. This is why the outcomes may not have been so clear. Adapted from the 2013 short film of the same name also directed by Rubin Stein, Tin & Tina is the new Spanish psychological horror-thriller film that landed on Netflix.
The plot of the film follows a newlywed couple, Lola (Milena Smit) and Adolfo (Jaime Lorente) who, after losing their children to a miscarriage, decide to adopt a pair of twins, Tin and Tina, who have grown up in a convent and obsessed with religion. A fanaticism that will immediately endanger the health – physical and mental – of the couple, who will soon be forced to wonder if the two children simply interpret the texts of the Bible too literally or if they are instead two evil beings. If you have seen the movie, you will certainly know how it will end but there will probably be several questions that have not been answered in its conclusion. Let’s try to answer together in our Tin & Tina ending explained.
Tin and Tina: Summary Recap
Spain, Eighties. A young married couple is about to become parents, but just shortly after the wedding ceremony, Lola (Milena Smit) suffers a miscarriage, which severely damages her womb. The woman is told that it will no longer be possible for her to become a mother, and, after some initial hesitation, Lola lets herself be persuaded by her husband Adolfo (Jaime Lorente) to go to a convent of nuns who hosts a community of orphans to adopt a child. Although Adolfo thought of adopting a newborn, his wife was struck and in a certain sense fascinated by two brothers, Tin and Tina, whom she heard playing the organ wonderfully inside the chapel. The two little boys are two unusual characters, almost borderline, skinny, and albino. The couple takes the two children with them, but the arrival of the children in Lola and Adolfo’s house seems to be a harbinger of further misfortunes.
Why Do Lola and Adolfo Bring The Twins Back To The Convent?
As we saw in our Tin & Tina review, ever since the twins arrived at the couple’s home, Lola’s trust in them decreases more and more, due to that religious fanaticism that repeatedly threatens to endanger the lives of family members. However, two episodes, in particular, will push the woman and her husband to bring Tin and Tina back to the convent. The first occurs just before Lola gives birth: her twins tie Lola to her bed trying to make her drink some milk that she believes is poisoned and, failing, they try to inject it with a syringe. The second takes place after the birth of the couple’s baby: Tin & Tina risk drowning him in the swimming pool of the house in an attempt to baptize him, which Lola had decided not to do. At that moment, Adolfo sets fire to the bible of the twins who are then taken directly to the convent.
Tin and Tina Ending Explained: How Does Tin & Tina End?
After taking the twins back to an orphanage, the couple tries to enjoy their newfound normality with their newborn child. However, things do not go as hoped: Adolfo proves to be an incompetent father and demands that Lola take care of her son in all respects, preventing her from resuming her work as a seamstress. For this reason, one evening, the woman joins her husband on the sofa – intent on watching television – determined to communicate to him her desire to divorce her. Just at that moment, however, the television stops working and Adolfo decides to go up to the roof to check the antenna even though a storm is breaking out. While Adolfo is away, the lights begin to flicker and the radio turns on by itself, spreading the little song that Tin and Tina loved to sing throughout the house.
When the light goes out completely, Lola goes out into the garden to check on her husband on the roof and sees him engulfed in flames together with the antenna, probably struck by lightning. The woman runs inside when her husband, who has fallen from the roof, enters the living room, thus setting the whole house on fire. Lola then goes upstairs to save her son from the flames but, not finding him, she wraps a sheet around her head to cause asphyxiation and be able to ask for a “miracle”, just like Tin and Tina le they had taught. Having regained consciousness, Lola hears the cry of the child and manages to rescue him. We then see her in the hospital, receiving a visit from the nun of the convent who confirms to Lola that the twins were not at the couple’s house on the night of the accident, but that they had always remained in their beds.
Are The Children Responsible for Adolfo’s Death?
The film never reveals whether the children are responsible for Adolfo’s death or whether, as the nun tells Lola, they never actually left the convent. However, several clues are shown that could make us think that the two were in the couple’s house during the man’s death. When Lola and Adolfo are driving home on the night of the accident, we see something cut off the two of them; the man will say that it was probably a deer, but, two small running figures are seen. Furthermore, it is very strange that Adolfo caught fire: just like he, in fact, a few days earlier had burned the children’s Bible. Finally, the fact that the radio turned on by itself, broadcasting the very song that the two children loved to sing, is also very suspicious.
Are Tin and Tina Evil?
There is no certain answer to this question either. However, the film suggests that Tin and Tina are not evil and that their fault is only that they interpret the Bible too literally. All the evil deeds they perform can find a justification in the sacred texts: when they kill the dog, they justify themselves by saying that in reality they only wanted to wash his soul (because he had bitten Lola) and they are truly amazed that this is not true. wake up more. Even when they send a classmate who bullied them into a coma — though they will never be found to be the official culprits — the twins seem to shield themselves from having done God’s will for a sinner.
