When a medical student survives a car crash and is left unable to walk, she ditches her beloved fiancé at the altar and moves on with her life. Twenty years later, a surprising run-in with her former fiancé results in a request that will challenge everything she knows about true love and sacrifice. Santita, an unconventional love story, is written by Luis Cámara (You’re Killing Me Susana) and Gabrielle Galanter (Silencio), and directed by Rodrigo García (Familia.). The dark comedy series stars Paulina Dávila and Gael García Bernal.

What happens in Santita?

Dr. Cano, better known as Santita (Dávila) to her family, friends, and patients, is a ballsy ob-gyn who embodies a lot of contradictions. As comfortable partying with wealthy elites at Tijuana’s poker tables as she is delivering babies in the streets, Santita can’t quite seem to get her life together. The 40-year-old accrues deep gambling debt trying to keep her private practice afloat, which is struggling financially thanks to her soft heart: She takes charity cases and performs illegal, free abortions. Santita also faces immense pressure from her family to fall in line and protect the Canos image — regardless of the personal cost to her. The black sheep in both her personal and professional life, she uses alcohol, gambling, casual sex, and her morbid wit to move through the world with emotional distance. But all that changes when Cecilia (Salas), her ex-fiancé’s pregnant wife, walks into her practice asking for an abortion. When Alejandro (Bernal) shows up at the hospital to comfort his wife, believing Cecilia had a miscarriage, a part of Santita that’s been dead for decades reawakens. Can the former couple heal from their traumatic past? Or are they on a brand-new collision course that will leave everyone wrecked in their wake?
