For thirty years, Carlos Escayola was the main politician of the small town of Tacuarembó, Uruguay. This farmer was known both for his political and cultural achievements (including the construction of a theater), and for the reputation of seducer, which earned him one of the greatest family polemics in the history of the region.

The film tells the story of the payador José Betinotti, a mythical character in Argentine music. It faithfully reconstructs the scenarios of the early twentieth century: the workers' struggles, the party meetings of the caudillos and the circus criollo, the cradle of Argentine theater and music.

Two guys as different as a watchmaker and a television editor have to free Carlos Gardel's soul from a strange pact with the devil, who has it trapped. To break the spell, these fans of El Morocho del Abasto, and improvised exorcists, need to find a mythical figure of such popular force as Gardel: the great Diego Maradona.
