- Synopsis:
- "Herod's Law" is a hilarious, outrageous satire set in a tiny Mexican town in 1949. Damian Alcazar stars as Juan Vargas, a junkyard operator who is recruited as a temporary mayor following the demise of the latest corrupt town leader. At first, Vargas is the ideal politician: he's honest, desperate and not terribly ambitious - or so it seems. But eventually, Vargas gives in to overwhelming temptation, bribery, and even violence in this brilliant, tongue-in-cheek story about government treachery.
