Santa Evita

2022161 Season6.6/10

Argentine drama chronicling the over two-decade odyssey of the corpse of Eva Duarte de Perón.

This is the story of Eva Duarte de Perón after her death. The embalmed body of “Evita” had an eventful journey that lasted for 22 years and was every bit as eventful as her 33 years of life. Evita died in 1952, but her corpse waited above ground for three years for the construction of a monument that was ultimately never built. In 1955, President Perón’s government was overthrown by a military coup, who hid the body for 19 years to prevent it from becoming a symbol against the regime. While only a political figure for six years as General Perón's wife, her corpse influenced Argentine politics for more than two decades – weaving a morbidly strange story that passed into the realm of mythology. To the military officers that took over, Evita was even more dangerous than when she was alive, as all feared that errant corpse without a grave. Some flashing lights sequences or patterns may affect photosensitive viewers.
