Heart of a Lion
2013
Synopsis
Ivana Cornejo (Julieta Díaz) is a successful lawyer practising family law. It´s been three years since she divorced Diego Bisoni (Mauricio Dayub), also a lawyer and her partner at the firm Cornejo/Bisoni. After losing her cell phone, Ivana gets a call from the man who found it, who wishes to return it. This is León Godoy (Guillermo Francella), a very well-known architect with an overwhelming personality: un arquitecto de gran renombre con una personalidad arrolladora: sympathetic, gallant, charismatic ... and also divorced.
In their conversation over the telephone a disturbing empathy is established and both feel an immediate interest. During that same talk they arrange to meet the next day in a coffee shop, so that he can return the cell phone. Ivana is the first to arrive.
After that meeting, Ivana will try to overcome these forty-five centimeters that the man of her life is lacking. She will face the prejudices of a ruthless society and her own, that state that men must have economic and professional success, and that they should be unmistakeably six feet tall.
