Plot

In September 2000, the first vladivideo was revealed, a recording in which the presidential adviser Vladimiro Montesinos bribed Alberto Kouri, an opposition congressman, to vote for favor of the government. After that, the government of Alberto Fujimori faces a crisis that would lead to its end; likewise, the presidential adviser is accused of corruption and persecuted by the dying Fujimori regime.[3] [4]

Vladimiro Montesinos flees to Panama where he is unable to obtain political asylum, so he returns to Peru. Justice issues an arrest warrant against him and the president Alberto Fujimori is part of police operations to search for him. However, Montesinos manages to escape on the sailboat Karisma to Costa Rica and then to Venezuela.

Reception

Reviews

The film has received mixed reviews from the specialized press, they call it very bland and boring, also that in its footage they show three sex scenes that are only fanservice and do not help the story they are trying to tell, also having poor performances and only one being saved, that of Miguel Iza as Vladimiro Montesinos.
