As a young woman who longs for an acting career, fame, and fortune, Eva quickly learns that her feminine wiles hold power among a culture and a political system run by men. She eventually becomes a hero to the poor and the working classand an enemy to the rich. Her story is told through the eyes of a young and unknown revolutionary, Ch, who narrates the rise and fall of the beloved matriarch of the Argentinian people.
