Wikipedia article
'Juan y Eva' is a 2011 Argentine movie based on the Argentine president Juan Pern and his wife Eva Pern. It features Osmar Nuez as Juan Pern and Julieta Daz as Eva Pern. The film was directed by Paula de Luque. The film controversially received government subsidies for over $3 million, was about the founders of the Justicialist Party which supported Cristina Kirchner's presidential bid, and received wide release, including in most state run cinemas, a month before the 2011 Argentinean presidential election. De Luque subsequently went on to direct "Nstor Kirchner: La pelcula", a documentary of the life of the husband of then president Cristina Fernndez, which was widely seen as a propaganda film and also received state subsidies.
Plot
The story is based on the first meeting of Juan Pern and Eva Pern, during a fundraising for the recent 1944 San Juan earthquake, and their growing relation. The plot avoids the controversial political topics related to peronism, and focused instead in a romantic plot.[http://www.escribiendocine.com/entrevistas/paula-de-luque-%E2%80%9Cno-quise-hacer-una-pelicula-partidaria-ni-politica-sino-contar-una-histo Paula de Luque No quise hacer una pelcula partidaria ni poltica sino contar una historia de amor]
