As told by the story-teller Che, Eva Peron was born Eva Duarte, the illegitimate daughter of a penniless farmer. 
Still a teenager, Eva attaches herself to a popular tango singer, Agustin Magaldi and accompanies him to the Big City: 
Buenos Aires. Ambitious to succeed, Eva becomes an aspiring radio and film actress, eventually moving into influential 
circles within Buenos Aires society. Once her name is linked with the rising politician Juan Peron, tongues begin to 
wag, but the couple marry and Peron is elected President with the inspirational Eva at his side. Eva establishes herself 
as an ardent supporter of Peronism and promotes her unique blend of democracy with her "Rainbow Tour" to Europe. 
Attracting attention like no other woman before or since, Eva Peron hypnotized a nation of eighteen million people for 
seven years before her untimely death at the age of 33 in 1952.
