Roa

La historia sucede en Bogotá en los días previos al 9 de abril de 1948. Roa es el clásico agüerista que lo deja todo a la suerte, un pobre diablo sin oficio estable pero con una familia que alimentar. Cansado de buscar trabajo y convencido que ha nacido para cosas grandes, visita a su ídolo Eliecer Gaitán para pedirle trabajo.

Roa

Tired of looking for work and convinced that he was born for big things, he visits his idol Eliecer Gaitan to ask for work.
