Synopsis

When a tycoon buys a newspaper and fires almost all the staff, an intrepid journalist decides to publish a false and incendiary letter bearing the signature of Juan Nobody. It announces the suicide of one of the fired employees. The success of the article is such that the newspaper decides to create a Juan Nobody and, to this end, hires a tramp who ends up becoming an extraordinarily popular character. (FILMAFFINITY)
