The narrator is discussing the Mexican movie "The Perfect Dictatorship," also known as "El Senor Presidente." The story revolves around a corrupt politician, Carmelo Vargas, who is caught on video accepting money from a drug trafficker. The video is leaked to the media, and the television station, TVMX, decides to use it to distract the public from the politician's scandal.
The TV station's director, José Hartman, orders his star producer, Carlos Rojo, to create a sensationalized news program to cover up Vargas's scandal. However, things get complicated when a neighbor comes forward claiming to have seen the kidnappers who took two twin girls, Ana and Elena Garza.
The TV station uses the kidnapping story to distract the public from Vargas's scandal, and Carlos Rojo becomes embroiled in a web of corruption and deceit. The story takes a dark turn when Agustín Morales, a politician who is fighting against corruption, is murdered, and the TV station covers it up.
