Doctor Justo Pastor Proceso Lopez, adored by his female patients but despised by his wife & daughters, has a burning ambition: to prove to the world that the myth of Simon Bolivar, El Libertador, is a sham & a scandal. In Pasto, south Colombia, where the good doctor plies his trade, the Feast Day of the Holy Innocents is dawning. A day for pranks, jokes & soakings.. .

One that will lay bare the massacres, betrayals & countless deflowerings that history has forgotten. But in Colombia you question the founding fables at your peril. At the frenzied peak of the festivities, drunk on a river of arguardiente, Doctor Justo will discover that this year the joke might just be on him.
