Sinopsis :
Captain Pantaleón Pantoja is a an upright but rather naive Peruvian officer
who has to recruit a number of prostitutes in order to satisfy the needs of army
soldiers based in the Amazon jungle. The hot climate provokes too many soldiers
to commit sexual aggressions which damage the army's reputation. Therefore, after
his initial dismay, the young officer embraces the unusual mission, armed with
a laptop, good faith and ambition. He quickly delivers convincing results with
women dressed in sexy clothes in the colors of the Peruvian flag.
However, the tropical rain forest with its exuberant vegetation and a no less
exuberant woman of his "special services" squad, as the prostitutes
are euphemistically called, do not leave Captain Pantoja himself indifferent.
La Colombiana (Angie Cepeda) catches not only his attention but also his heart.
The prostitute manages to overcome the officer's initial resistance in a scene
underscored by Carlos Vives' song Fruta fresca (Fresh Fruit).
Of course, the relationship between the married soldier and the prostitute as
well as the immoral sex squad set up by the captain catch the attention of the
local population and in particular of a corrupt radio talk star called El Sinchi
(Aristóteles Picho). Everything is directly heading towards a major and
inevitable disaster...
Towards the end of the entertaining tragic sex comedy, Captain Pantoja, who has
remarkable organizing skills, declines an offer to set up a lucrative, private
enterprise for "special services". He prefers being humiliated by his
superiors and sent to a remote post in the Andes to quitting the army, which
is all he has in life, because, as he says himself, he is used to executing orders...
