Dictator Octavio Prado Roth, who is backed by a handful of people, like the capitalist Moren, reigns over the population of an imaginary country in Latin America, but a protest movement seems to be emerging.
Professor Palmas, who supports the revolutionaries, discovers a way to split matter. He creates “The doll”, a clone of Marion, Moren’s wife and the dictator’s mistress. “The doll”, brought to life by Professor Palmas, who inserts himself into it, encourages the population to revolt.
