- Synopsis
- During his first few months in town, Roque Espinosa attends classes and wanders through the corridors of the university feeling out of place. He makes a few friends, goes to parties and meets girls.
  He falls in love with Paula, an assistant professor. Pursuing her company and attention, Roque enters a world that, until then, had been indifferent to him: the world of university politics. He gains the confidence of the retired politician and faculty advisor Alberto Acevedo and immediately distinguishes himself on the field. Roque learns the ropes and rises in the ranks. He has finally found something he is very good at doing.
  In the campaign for election of a new Rector, he becomes skilled at organizing constituents, building consensus, configuring covert alliances and negotiating concessions – to become the consummate student leader. At the top of the heap, Roque discovers a world of pure politics in which the end justifies the means every step of the way.
