Many people refer to her as a bruja, or evil witch. Even Antonio is confused about the moral nature of Ultima's power-no one knows if she is truly a witch. Ultima is a firm believer in tolerance and understanding, however, and she teaches Antonio that different belief systems can offer equally valid ways of understanding the world.

The parents, especially the mother, have more traditional views rooted in Catholicism, while the boys are more influenced by their father's nomadic lifestyle and spiritual connection to nature. This generational and cultural clash leads to tension and struggles for the boys as they try to navigate their own identities.
