Argentine animated film utilizing cutout animation, and the world's first animated feature film. Currently considered a lost film.

He speaks with the gods about the deeds and misdeeds of the porteños, and how they laugh at him and every political program he sets up. A few congressmen appear, and express their positions. Yrigoyen discusses the level of chaos in the capital administration with the gods, and the government's financial situation.
