Comedy based on the Romeo and Juliet story with the lovers' families at odds with each other over their different socio-political backgrounds. Hipolito's family is aristocratic and pro-Hipolito Yrigoyen, who was twice president of Argentina and co-founded the Radical Civic Union, a social liberal political party; while Evita comes from a working-class background and a family that supports Eva Perón and her husband Juan Perón, who was three times president and gave his name to the political movement known as Peronism, which in present-day Argentina is represented mainly by the Justicialist Party.
