Synopis: A man is murdered in Lima during the Argentina 78 World Cup. Félix Chacaltana, a government administrative employee, investigates the murder and uncovers an international plot of kidnapping, disappearance and torture. Félix also begins to discover the secret life of the country. Although Peru is apparently about to return to democracy, Peruvian opponents and persecuted Argentines begin to disappear in military operations throughout the city. Félix tries to report him, but no one believes him. Or maybe no one cares because there is a World Cup. Félix doesn't know it, but he is about to lose his sexual, political and even football virginity.
