La Cabina Telefónica

Introducing La Cabina Telefónica

In '90s-era Queens, Matty Cardona owns and operates Matty's Llamadas y Servicios 82 in Jackson Heights. It's a unique little shop that Matty runs with her daughter Rossy, a place where everyone in the neighborhood gathers to call their loved ones back home and share stories of life, love, triumph and pain. Each day brings a new call and a fresh set of problems, drama and victories. But, as Matty confronts her own struggles, she soon realizes life as a single mother and the barrio's resident therapist, gossip and peacemaker isn't so easy. Inspired by Spanish language telenovelas and 90's sitcoms, La Cabina Telefónica is a fully bilingual scripted comedy starring Colombian pop star Fanny Lu as Matty and Isabella Gomez (One Day At A Time) as Rossy.
