SYNOPSIS

Eva Duarte is a young woman with aspirations to move up through the social status of Argentina from the 1930s through the early 1950s. Guided by a musical narrator, Che, we see that Eva climbs the ladder by climbing in bed with anyone who can help her attain her goals. She goes from being a fashion model, to radio and then movie star. It is then that she uses her status to meet Colonel Juan Peron, a man jockeying to one day become President of Argentina. She sees Peron as her next rung to climb, and he leaves the military to pursue their common goal of helping the workers and the poor. Soon they're a couple and he's elected president. Eva then uses her position to fulfill her own agenda.
