1952, Eva Perón just died. She is the most beloved, but also hated political figure of Argentina. An expert is in charge of her embalming. After years of hard work, he achieves a remarkable work. Meanwhile in Argentina coups follow each other and some dictators want to remove Evita’s legacy from the people’s memory. Her body becomes the stake of clashes during 25 years. This « sleeping beauty » became the most powerful figure than any other living politician.
1952, Eva Perón vient de mourir à 33 ans. Elle est la figure politique la plus aimée et la plus haïe d’Argentine. On charge un spécialiste de l'embaumer. Des années d'effort, une parfaite réussite. Mais les coups d'état se succèdent et certains dictateurs veulent détruire jusqu'au souvenir d'Evita dans la mémoire populaire. Son corps devient l’enjeu des forces qui s’affrontent pendant 25 ans. Durant ce quart de siècle, Evita aura eu plus de pouvoir que n’importe quelle autre personnalité de son vivant.
