Synopsis:

The La Fonda Hotel of Santa Fe, capital of New Mexico is the setting of the macabre dinner that took place on August 6, 1945 to celebrate the drop of the first atomic bomb on the city of Hiroshima. The dinner was attended by J. Robert Oppenheimer, director of the city-lab of Los alamos, and other seven scientists of international renown, who, together with him and many others, were in charge of the project's technical aspects. The alcohol, undisputed protagonist of the nonsensical banquet, intoxicates the minds of the distinguished guests and, by temporarily freeing their consciences from the delusion of omnipotence in which they are caught, makes weakness, oddity and humanity come into the open. The increased awareness of the real and catastrophic effects of the invention, the doubts, remorse and dissociation from the official power grow hand in hand with the ethylic fog enfolding the scene, to result in a desperate and hallucinated spiral that belongs to metahistory.
