NEW YORK VIEW
A Mexican film that scandalized the then-governing party in 2000, this satire charts the downfall of a kind-hearted Everyman recruited to be the mayor of a corrupt forties town.

CINEMASOURCE SYNOPSIS

But soon, Vargas has grown power-hungry and with the help of corrupt politician Lopez, Vargas tightens his grip and expands his sphere of influence, through a policy of fear, extortion and criminality.
