Asesinato en el Senado de la Nación (English: Murder in the Senate of the Nation) is a 1984 Argentine historical crime drama film directed by Juan José Jusid and written by Carlos Somigliana. It stars José Soriano, Miguel Ángel Solá and Oscar Martínez. It premiered on 13 September 1984 in Buenos Aires. Miguel Ángel Solá won Best Actor for his performance at the Havana Film Festival and Jusid won a Golden Colon for his directorship at the Huelva Latin American Film Festival.
The political film is set in 1930s Argentina. It tells the story of the real-life assassination attempt on politician Lisandro de la Torre by Ramón Valdez Cora.
Synopsis
In 1935, de la Torre embarked on an investigation into the meat trade, a subject that his fellow party member Julio Noble had previously attempted but failed to uncover. During this investigation, tragedy struck when de la Torre's disciple and close friend, senator-elect Enzo Bordabehere, was murdered, leading to the intervention in the province of Santa Fe, Argentina. The film depicts the unfolding of de la Torre's and Bordavere's investigation, as well as the manipulation of Valdez Cora, who would later become de la Torre's would-be assassin, by corrupt members of the Senate, particularly the pro-Nazi figure Don Alberto.
