<div style="mso-pagination: none;" class="MsoNormal"><strong>SYNOPSIS</strong></div>
<div style="mso-pagination: none;" class="MsoNormal">Celebrity takes many forms and can come from the most unlikely sources. The teenage Eva Duarte sees performer Augustin Magaldi as her ticket out of the slums and into the big city of Buenos Aires, only the beginning of her plans for greatness. Unceremoniously dumping Magaldi, she becomes a second rate singer. She develops contacts and finds, in the small-time politician Juan Peron, exactly the moldable man who can lead her to her dreams. She makes short work of Peron's teenage girl friend and pushes her lover up the political ladder to the presidency of Argentina. It's still not enough for Eva doesn't want to be just a faceless first lady. She inserts an image of herself in the public's mind, promising great good while delivering only evil, nevertheless establishing herself as a saint to the masses. Faced with suspicion and rising political opposition, Eva ndertaks her greatest Sacrifice. She dies, achiheveing immortal fame. And the Argentineans cry for her.</div>
