Plot

edit

A man is assassinated in Lima during the Argentina 78 World Cup. Félix Chacaltana, an administrative employee of the government, investigates the murder and discovers an international plot of kidnapping, disappearance and torture. Felix also begins to discover the secret life of the country. Although Peru is apparently about to return to democracy, Peruvian opponents and persecuted Argentines begin to disappear in military operations throughout the city. Felix tries to report him, but no one believes him. Or maybe nobody cares because there is a World Cup. Félix doesn't know it, but he is about to lose his sexual, political and even soccer virginity.[3]
