Plot
The political film is set in 1930s Argentina. It tells the story of the real-life assassination attempt on politician Lisandro de la Torre (Soriano) by Ramon Valdez Cora. In 1935, de la Torre initiated an investigation on the meat trade, which had been previously attempted without success by his fellow party member Julio Noble. In the midst of the investigation, de la Torre's disciple, senator elect Enzo Bordavere, was murdered, and the province of Santa Fe was intervened. The film chronicles de la Torre's and Bordavere's investigation, as well as the grooming of de la Torre's assassin, Valdez Cora, by corrupt members of the senate, most notably the malicious Don Alberto.
