The story

A film is interrupted when news breaks of the death of Eva Perón, Argentina's First Lady, at the age of 33 ("A Cinema in Buenos Aires on July 26, 1952").

As her father's illegitimate family, Eva's mother and her children are blocked from the funeral by the official widow and family.

Peron is intrigued by the now glamorous Eva ("The Art of the Possible"), who sets out to convince him that she is the woman for him ("I'd Be Surprisingly Good for You").
