Widow of the Mob

Director:

Sergio Osorio
 
La Viuda de la Mafia," or ''Widow of the Mob," Diana Montes thinks she's going on a rustic second honeymoon, but her family is pursued into the jungle by authorities, who kill her husband in a dramatic shoot-out.
Initially convinced he was an innocent victim, the glamorous mother of two, with the help of an amorous detective, gradually comes to realize that her husband was using his respectable aviation and construction business as a front to transport drugs and launder money.
Since its debut last fall, the nightly soap has taken Colombian prime-time audiences by storm. Its producers recently sold Miami-based Univision the rights to broadcast the program to Spanish-speaking audiences across the United States.

A red bear

 Original Title:  Un oso rojo

Director:

Adrián Caetano
Oso (Bear) has never gotten over the separation from his wife and daughter after having been convicted for armed robbery and homicide and sent to prison. Now he is out, to finally get his cut of the money and reunite with his family, or at least avenge the damage done.

Oso (Julio Chávez) is sent to prison for a robbery and a murder. After seven years, he is released from prison, and in a flashback, the robbery is seen that led to his arrest. His daughter, Alicia (Agostina Lage), was a year old on the day of the robbery. As a consequence, Alicia never got a chance to get to know her father.
Oso returns to his hometown, a depressed suburb of Buenos Aires, fully aware that his wife, Natalia (Soledad Villamil), is living with another man, Sergio (Luis Machín). Oso is determined to establish a relationship with Alicia, and to collect money owed him by a sleazy crime boss known as El turco ( The Turk) (René Lavand). In the meantime, El Turco wants Oso to be the getaway driver on one last big job. For her part, Alicia seems fascinated with her father and makes him promise never to go away again.
