L'avvocato

`L'Avvocato' is one of the first example of drama-fiction produced by Swiss Italian Television. This series chronicles the private and public life of a lawyer in a small border town (Lugano). His personal life is at a turning point. As for the cases he handles, their deep underlying implications require much more than professional skills. Well acted and well written, this series shows that, even with a small budget, you can make good television.
