Santita: the plot
Following a car accident that leaves her disabled, María José Cano, affectionately nicknamed “Santita” even though she is more of a sinner than a saint, abandons the love of her life at the altar.

This is an unconventional love story, made of bets and starring a perversely irreverent woman.
