In an effort to conceal the embezzlement of large sums of money received from the presidential fund, the corrupt and mired in the most low-grade debauchery, the Governor of the City starts a grandiose scam called the "Martian Expedition". The vacancies of voluntary suicides are readily accepted by an artist, director, architect, choreographer and porn star. Meanwhile, the "shadow administration" of the City, consisting of the bosses of the largest gangster groups, is joining the division of the "financial cake"...
