Synopsis

In a story closely inspired by the last 3 presidents of Peru, a totally detached from reality incumbent president and hiso out-of-place foreign wife campaign for reelection against a cowardly ex – soldier caught between his ideological family who want him to reestablish the Inca Empire and his ambitious power-at-all costs wife; a corrupt egomaniac former president who craves a return to power to enrich himself even more than his last term in office; and a sincere intellectual who loses votes every time he tells the truth.
A subversive satire that criticises both the proponents of populism and those who feed it.
