"El Sr. Presidente" is a tragic and impossible love story lost between degradation and fear. It is the tale of a fictitious Latin American country living under a fierce dictatorship sponsored by a society in frank decadence. Evil spreads downwards from the ruler, justice is a mockery, and the military spends their time abusing their fellow citizens, enjoying corruption, conspiring in vain or partying in brothels.

"El Sr. Presidente", ruler of life and death, is attracted by the young daughter of his rival and enemy, General Canales, and pulls all strings necessary to destroy the father and seduce the young girl. He is not counting with any opposition, especially from Miguel Cara de Angel his closest ally, whom he has asked to mastermind the evil plot. The General after several disgraceful events, manages to escape and Cara de Angel, contradicting his orders, falls in love with Canale's daughter Camila, bringing upon him the jealous wrath of the master and the premature beginning of his end.
