Litigante
Directed by Franco Lolli
IN MINUTE detail, Litigante centres around Colombian single mother and leading lawyer Silvia (Carolina Sanin), who is juggling raising her young son (Antonio Martinez), taking care of her ill-tempered cancer-battling mother Leticia (Leticia Gomez) and dealing with a major corruption scandal at work.
When she meets and begins to fall for Abel (Vladimir Duran), a radio presenter and journalist, after a rocky start it is one too many balls to keep in the air and it seems she is heading for a nervous breakdown.
