EL SANTO

This is the story of Rubén, a healer with a humble background who takes care of his patients in a small commercial where he also lives. His fame is moderate, but not his healing techniques, which are outrageous and disturbing. With the appearance of Benjamin, his luck will change: he will become popular and generate a cult around him, which will grow and become a saint in the eyes of the rest. But that fame will end up being his own hell.
