Through the lives of these characters we discover a tragic and unknown side of Paraguayan history and live the incredible adventure leading to the electoral triumph of Fernando Lugo.
The film ends on the emotional images of the victory’s day. After the events of June 22th 2012, that saw President Lugo and his staff removed from power through a parliamentary coup, this film represents a historical testimony of a broken democratic dream.
This film also gives a major perspective on the current situation of the country, on the eve of the presidential elections of April 2013.
