María José Cano, nicknamed Santita, is a Tijuana doctor who treats poor patients for free and gambles away the clinic's money. Twenty years after she left Alejandro at the altar, he comes back to town.
Starring Paulina Dávila, Gael García Bernal
A prickly, funny love story for viewers who like a heroine who makes her own mess and does not apologize for it. Paulina Dávila plays Santita sharp and defiant, never a saint and never reduced to her wheelchair. When her bookkeeper Alma disapproves, Santita carries on regardless. Gael García Bernal plays the ex with a look of longing.
It runs at a slow burn, with scenes that stay on Santita's moods rather than pushing a plot, so give it a few episodes.
